Hi, I am intending to make a model of a British FT-17 tank from 1918. Does anyone have any idea as to what colour scheme would have been used. I've read that only weaponless vehicles were used for command/comms work, but if anyone can verify this as well I would be obliged. ? ANS
Gentlemen ... ? I wanted to share with you my newest addition to my collection. It is a German beer mug. It sohws the sign of the "Freikorps von Epp" / "Bayerische Sch?tzenbrigade 21". The writing says "Kampfwagen-Zug 21" (AC platoon 21). The back shows also the name...

I know that they both wore the m1860 shako and, to me surprisingly, the m1813 cap but i have seen many photographs and drawings of them wearing the m1860 shakos both with AND without their covers during wartime. Was this just because of supply shortages that gave the landsturm and landwehr thier uniqu...
