I think I'm right in saying that the accepted wisdom is that the A7V got its name from Allgemeine Kriegsdepartment Abteilung 7 - Verkehrswesen. Now I have come across the suggestion that the origin is Allgemeine Kriegsdepartment 7 Abteilung? - Verkehrswesen.I've also seen the 7 written with a full...
The photo is from a photo album with the following description: Tank of Chang Tsung Chang's -2-7 armies Zhang Zongchang (also Chang Tsung-ch'ang or here Chang Tsung Chang) (13.02.1881-03.09.1932) Was a Chinese warlord in Shandong in the early 20th century.

Does Landships II have any copyright on the content from Landships, its just that Patriot Files is still displaying whole pages with no credits etc. Just thought I would let people know
Not a military vehicle at all, but thought some might enjoy it: "Inadvertently, some of you have helped me with a quest that I have been on for some ten years now, to find more information about a 'crawler-crusher' that was designed and built for clearing on the now-defunct Cross-Florida Barge c...
About a week ago I ran across some info on this tank somewhere on the Landships?forum, and I recall there was another term used, but can't recall what it was.? I'm considering building a "what-if" recovery Whippet and am trying to locate a suitable winch.? I'll attach the photo I found here...
I have managed to get hold of a second hand kit of the above.Unfortunatley the instructions are missing. Have any Forum members got the instructions or could tell me where I could get hold of a set. It seems a bit of a cheek to ask Scale link themselves. Thanks
Hi It's been a few years between post but I am in the process of building a large scale model of an 18 pounder and need information on the correct shade of green used . Regards Terry
Off to north Wales in a weeks time, near Caernarfon, and was wondering if anything WW1 related to see in the area? I know some of the narrow gauge railways have WW1 stock but not sure if it's possible to access the sheds where they will most likely be held. Any artillery pieces in local museums etc?
I am starting to get images for the next lot of figures.One set I would like to do is the above.How many were in the team??? Has anyone got any good images of a Lewis gun team in the usual W^D relaxed pose style. Many thanks
Hello,? during the searching for photos on the internet, I have found this photo, which I want to use as a marking of my new model 1:35. I expected that the tank served in 2.B Batallion. I dont know if it is true and I dont know the deployment history of MARK V. The second thing I see in the picture is the hump o...

Now you can see the my 155iger in scale 1:72... Today I`m ready for airbrushing...the kit is very fine and one of the best by Retrokit/ -tracks for my meaning... The chains and bails for recoil will be fixed after brushing... This pic shows the position of the canon in the following diorama...
I was wondering about the 1/35th scale kits they produce. My friend managed to pick up a whippet for very little money and I was quite impressed with final model. how ever, the less said about the tracks the better! So I was wondering what you all would consider a good starting point for a 1/35th kit and wh...
Hi, I'm new in the forum and in the world of WWI modelling. Would anybody so kind to tell me if any manufacturer produce metal barrels for WWI models? (I'm afraid the answer will be no) I have the Emhar kit for Mk IV male and the barrels are horrible. And any other kind of aftermarkets? (photoetched parts,...
Hi. I'm Roberto from Spain. In the last ten years I was very fond of modelling. I'd like WWII vehicles very much, but in the last weeks my interest in WWI tanks and vehicles has been increasing. A friend of mine talked to me about this site and here am I, ready to learn and share what I know. ? Post data: I apol...
Hi All, While working on the sponson drawings for the 1/6 scale MK1, I came across a photo of the Lewis gun and noticed it seemed to have an extra part to it. From what I can tell it is an extra bar above the barrel to protect the sight and tip from rubbing on the flap. I don't see it on lewis guns used away from ta...
Found this forum when looking for the old Landships website. Living in Accrington, Lancashire WW1 has a big significance. I was involved in 90th anniversary of the Somme locally, and next year has so much more potential so am working on a few modelling and art projects based on WW1. For WW1 my preferre...
