Hi all I hope I have put this in the right place, if not, please feel free to move or delete this post. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the knobbly sticky upy things (please excuse my excelent english with this) are on the back of Kia Ora, and also seen on the back of other tanks sent to Palestine (...
I do wonder if the US followed the British practice of a Kahki Brown shade. But I also wonder if at a later date they would have followed inter war US practice of a semi gloss Olive Drab colour? Would this have applied to M1917's and the Ford 3 tonners as well? ? Very hard to find any decent reference out ther...
There is an interesting discussion at the Axis History Forum (The end of the Ottoman Empire) about some armoured lorries converted by German engineers to patrol on the Hejaz Railway. [IMG]https://i24...
Just noticed in the pics of the Saumur Renault (on the AMMS site that TCT was kind enough to point out) that it isn't in 1914-18 condition. There are circular ammunition drums in the crew compartment - at least 24. As we know, the Hotchkiss M1914 used metal strips. It emerges that the drums are for the Rei...
GentlemanI ran across this photo of an MkIV Female that intrigues me, and if this photo has been discussed before please forgive me. It is very interesting and the caption reads the following.English Tank, destroyed on the 23rd of August 1917 by the assault company of 34th Infantry-Division. Heren...

? Another 10cm lFH 16 in Australia - this restored one is at the Watsonia RSL, Melbourne. Originally allocated to Bendigo, Vic in 1921. The breech ring has a manufacturers symbol below the date I haven't seen before - anyone identify it? Also does anyone know the meaning of the numbers and letters on th...
Hi all.? ? Here is one of my favourite models: Airfix Mk I, which I converted to Mk II and added a small diorama, using two Airfix british infantrymen and old Matchbox diorama base. ? ?
I am hoping that some of the knowledgable members of the forum may be able to help me with some technical detail. It may appear that this post should be in the modelling forum, but I think the people who have the answers I need are here. I am building a 1/6 scale model of a Mark IV based on the partial original...
As part of the researh on the U.S. SPGs, I noticed the following in the book suggested by "Ironsides" - "The Armies of Industry" written by Benedict Crowell who was Assistant Secretary of War and Director of Munitions 1917-1920. "The French Renault not being adapted to A...

Stumbled across this: Sous l'armure - Les chars d'assaut fran?ais pendant la guerre by Pierre Lestringuez, former lieutenant. Haven't had chance to read it all, but it seems to cover the development of the Tanks as well as an account of operations. Will try to find time to read it properly. ? ? ?
The latest Military Modelling magazine has a feature list expected new releases for 2013. Among them Emhar has an A7V listed in 1/35 scale ? I did not see this mentioned in any of the Toy Fair revues. Anyone else seen mention of it anywhere ? Paul

Acc to this very informative site it's not connected with Mr. G, but a Wotan-Werke Type A tractor, designed post-1918. I can't find any more about it at present. I've always thought it odd that...

For anyone who cares. A gentleman has been running amok on the Wikipedia Renault FT article for some time now, introducing a quite extraordinary amount of disinformation. I managed to refute a good deal of it a while ago, but he has now returned, with renewed vigour and a determination to insert some v...
