I purchased this kit after reading the excellent review on Landships.? When I received the kit I felt it lac...
Hey All Not to start a debate on paint shades, but I was wondering if I could get some idea on what MK II tanks were painted in? I am at the stage when I am about to start painting my MK II Male, and am wanting to know more about the painting methodology of the time. Were they released in a single shade colour, an...
As you probarbly know The Miris Steel Company Limited produced Brodie helmets and is said to have produced Armour for the Renault FT, is there infact any truth in the latter and can anyone tell me what their trademark stamp was on rolled armour plate? Whitakers red book for 1914 doesnt seem to have them...

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...

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...

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...
