Surprised to learn that some editions of E.D. Swinton's autobiog "Eyewitness" came with a dustjacket. Mine didn't. The pic below shows it, and I don't see much there that is connected with the birth of the Tank. Can anyone i.d. the stuff on it?
Quite a lot of this is at variance with my understanding of the subject:

Pretty confident that K-Wagen is not short for G.K.-Wagen at all. Doesn't make grammatical sense. It would Grosser Kampfwagen. Can anyone confirm that it stands for "Koloss...
Have just received my latest copy of Military Modelling mag and Pol Models is advertising the 1/35 and 1/72 tanks as back in stock. Just a heads up !? Paul
Howdy, I am a long time member of the Landships forum, where I generally focus on the history of Rolls Royce armoured cars, but now I find myself in a position professionally where I need some advice regarding a real WWI German field gun.? I know that artillery experts frequent the forum, so I thought I'...
Hello, I am currently building the Dennis 3 tons lorry from W^D models. It is a very nice kit and I almost finished to build it. At the moment, my problem is to choose the main colour. Any advice ? At the moment, a possibility is Humbrol 155 (I don't have it) or Revell 66. If somebody has a better proposal, le...
Well, new-ish. A Whippet (Medium A) in two scales, 7mm:foot (1/43) and 4mm:foot (1/76). Also, I see they have plans for two St Chamonds and a Mark V, all in 4mm:foot. Gramodels are here:? http://www.gramodels.co.uk/
There is a silence on Landships about this event. However, for the easter front that was one of the most important battles. ? More about it (in English): http://hungarianconsulate.co.nz/mszo79/79_9.html And how it was celebrated here in Poland in Limanowa: http://www.miasto.limanowa.pl/pl...
Hi all,
I've seen the clock from a Mark 1 at Bovington, and know that early vehicles were also fitted with a compass. But I haven't seen any photos of where they were fitted. Was there a dashboard? Other instruments? Are there any photos showing the commander and drivers stations?
Cheers Dave

I know we've had this discussion before , but what was the verdict on HaT's WW2 German Wagon? Was it used in WW1? Could I get away with using it unchanged for a WW1 scene?
I am interested in finding out an estimated value on a Krupp 21 cm M?rser 10.? I currently work for a municipality who has one on display in a City Park.?

Interesting high elevation conversion to this 18 pounder - British crew wearing the Khaki Drill uniform (a cotton, more light coloured version of the Service Dress for use in hotter climates), possibly Salonika (definitely late war as they have Small Box Respirators) ? http://thevintageaviato...
Dear all, again I would like to share with you something from my collection. Today I bought a death card of a Bavarian Tanker of the "Bayerische Strumpanzerwagenabteilung No. 13". He was heavy wounded in the first combat action of the Bavarian tank unit, which was on 27th May 1918. The next...
Charlie, When I click on the "Back to Landships" menu item it takes me back to the original Landships website; note the URL in the lower left corner of the screenshot. ?
Have just been looking through an old thread on the Studebaker tank?and decided to start a new one to add my comments, as the thread had been dormant for over a year. My observation is that the apparent difference between superstructure of the tank in the old photos and in cheffy's new one is not caused b...
The Imperial War Museum have restored the 'Battle of the Ancre and the advance of the Tanks' film, filmed in late 1916 as a sequel to the more well known 'Battle of the Somme' film by Malins and released in 1917 - here's a restored clip of it which many of you will no doubt have seen before showing a Mk 1 Male a...

I am trying to make a list of all the 1/72 or 1/76 Ford Model T models there are available. So far I have the 3 from RPM, 3 from Matador Models, 2 from Scale Link, and a whopping 10 from Reviresco. I am a bit concerned about those from Reviresco because?I am sure he used to have them listed as 1/64, but now that h...
