Need some decent 1/76 (or 1/72) Lewis's for my Mk II Female, can anyone reccomend any? Received the Matador Models tank mg's today, the Lewis's were awful and the Hotchkiss little better than what comes in Emhar kits

Hi! Exhausted with compressor problems in painting my R&R, I turn to this resin kit from Blitz models. Blitz produces different versions of this mythical howitzer but the WW1 is my favourite. AND the camo should be hand painted! The kit itself is very nice and needs minimal detailling work mostl...
Hi, I am hoping someone will help identify a large shell case that I recently came across. I am on the Isle of Wight and wondered whether it may be from a ship as lots of Maritime items turn up here - Can anyone please help?

Another quick re-examination of the accepted wisdom. It's common for literature about the M1917 to state that it differed from the Renault in a number of respects, including a) a bulkhead was constructed between the engine and crews compartment, and b) the Renault engine was replaced with a 4-cyli...
