This is my first head swap for a 1/72 soft plastic figure. I wanted to make a late war A-H artillery figure for my Hat Skoda Mountain gun. The body is from the Hat Austrian Artillery Crew #8258 and the head is from the Hat German Artillery Crew #8109. The base coat is Vallejo German Field Grey WWII#70.830 a...
The Emhar mgs have been described as abortions, and I am going to scratch build the ones I need. From initial comparisons, the Emhar, among other things, seem too long. I found a picture of a Hotchkiss mounted in the side ball mounting (att 1) and scaled off the length from the photo, using the 7,5"...
This pic appears in a number of references (Danjou, Jeudy, etc) captioned as the second FT prototype along with Louis Renault. I would venture to suggest that it isn't LR. There isn't much of a likeness as far as I can see. Copyright prevents me from supplying photographic evidence, but I think the gen...
Only just discovered this forum, been fascinated by Landships for a very long time.? Looking forward to discovering more from the postings on here and even getting the incentive to build some more models.
Well this is my latest project but the photos are not as good as they should be. Anyway it is the Hat Industries Russian 76 mm Gun built straight out of the box. The finish started out as Tamiya Field Grey but it looked too dark so I dry brushed the model with Vallejo Grey Green. It was then washed with Citade...
All, I have found so far on the internet lack scale, so I have no idea how big they were. Does anyone know any website which has plans of these forts with scale?
The closest gun I can find in Kosar to match this photo of a Matrosen Artillerie crew is the schwere Kanone 12cm M82.? Kosar says though that this gun was employed by Switzerland.? Did a few still find their way to the Navy?? A similar gun but with a different name? ?
The 152mm Schneider howitzers m1915 and m1917 were very modern guns for their day. What is often overlooked is the fact the Russians used very similar guns from the very beginning of WW1. I have become interested in the 152mm howitzer model 1909. There is some info about it in its updated 1909/30 versi...
Hard to know what category to put this in. The picture below is Albert Robida's depiction of the revolution of 1953, as he imagined it in 1883. The object in the bottom right of the picture looks familiar.
This can be read online to a great extent here I can't speak for the veracity of the stuff about American vehicles in general, but there is a nice pic of a Holt 5 ton Artillery Tractor. After that it's rather downhill. Chapter VI is where we get into Tanks and so on. I would advise extreme caution when readi...
When I sent an email to Masterbox regarding future plans for a 1/35th scale Mark I ... here's the reply. Dear Mr. Brunner, We have intentions to release such tank. Firstly, we will see how sales in 1/72 scale will go and then we will take a decision. Yours faithfully, Mary, Sales Manager mb_ltd@ukr....
I think I remember seeing a diagram showing the layout of the rollers on a Mk IV tank as a mix of light and heavy. I have drawing for the light roller in the Bovington Mk IV plans, but not the heavy rollers. Does anybody know what the differences are or have drawings of the heavy rollers they could share with...
