Good afternoon! Excuse me my poor English - I am from Kazakhstan. I search for any photos and drawings of Christie M1921 Medium Tank.? Especially drawings or photos of the cart of a suspension bracket (two small rollers at middle of tank). Thanks!
I live in Kingston-on-Thames (Sopwith country) and remember seeing a photograph (or more than one) in a book showing rhomboid shaped tanks on display in Kingston. I wonder if any avid collectors know where to find these on the internet, or have them in their own collection that they would share with m...
Hello all, Just thought i would post this as i have a massive interest in the Royal Artillery, particularly the regiments involvement in the First World War. My family has had a member serving in the Royal Artillery continuously since 1863 (which was my Great Great Grandfather). Here is a link to a pag...
? Attached is a partial image of a memorial gun which was in Victoria, Australia. The AWM records say it was a "150mm Austrian" gun. Anyone have an ident for the gun. Regards, Charlie ?
Hi everyone, I have been interested in WWI for as long as I can remember, but the old BBC series 'The Great War' ca 1964, was the catalyst for my lifelong interest in all matters relating to The Great War. My main interest have always been split between WWI aircraft and tanks and the courage and bravery of...

To rekindle small scale modelling. Th...
Did the Mark V Tank ever fight against captured Mark IVs or A7Vs in WW1? Did the Mark V Tank ever fight against other Mark Vs, Renault FTs, or Whippets in the Russian Civil War?
From The Armour Journal's FB page. Captioned "Possibly during the Anniversary of the Republic parade, 24 February, 1925." [img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.a...
I heard there was an etch brass set in 1/72 for WW1 MKIV tanks from a firm i think where called ExtraTech,is it still available as i'm in Oman for 20 weeks at a time,and would be great if i could get hold of one. ? regards?
I've attached several period postcards of these tanks. ? ?I thought the clear deffinition of the camo patern might be of interest to model builders. It's an interesting contrast between the French who photographed everything (almost as casually as the Germans), and the British who were frightene...
Again from Criticalpast: There is a film purporting to show 3 FTS undergoing trials at Bridgport, Connecticut. Acc to Dale E. Wilson (Treat 'Em Rough!) the French promised to supply 2 FTs and a set of plans for the US to study, but he says that Lt. E. Braine managed to secure only a turret, a 37mm gun, and s...
I've got a strong feeling that I've either seen or might even have posted a link to an account by E. Swinton of his meeting with B. Holt in California in 1918. IIRC, it details the content of his speech. Am I imagining this, or does it ring a bell with anyone?
Have been trying to draw up a map showing approximate area of operations by Renault FTs May-November 1918. Based on accounts of villages and other landmarks taken by FT units, this is what I've come up with. (Note the small deployment in Flanders) It includes both French and US actions. Any correctio...
On the Armourfast site PDA has produced a series of blogs on producing?an accurate?British MkIV tanks using the basic Emhar models. Its a real eye opener that a cheap ?6.99 model becomes a very expensive model to correct. Need a bankers' bonus to?correct a?number of them. It clearly highlights to ne...
Retrokit recently (March 1st) moved. They can now be found here: http://www.retrokitonline.com/ For a while (but who knows for how much longer) their old address will still get you somewhere.
