Hello All, Here is my first post on this forum. I have found the Landships site quite helpful, but need some "straight"opinions from the modelling members here. So I've joined up. I see the Airfix Mk1 tank, while having some accuracy issues, can be made the basis of a decent collection of Br...
Ok, very muddled information... I just got the "British AFVs: 1919/1940" book, and I have been cross-checking information on the Martel tankettes through a few books. My conclusion is that a fair part of the information about these tankettes in general must be wrong. I am even hesitant where to begi...
Ok folks, I got my photo reproductions from Bovington, and with a lot of help from David Fletcher, we now know a lot more about these vehicles. ----------- The first production type of the Carden-Loyd was called the Mark V, and the main production type the mark VI, but apart from the books by Chamberlai...
A silly question, perhaps, but one that has puzzled me. Why did the RFA and RHA carry ammunition bandoliers around their necks, as in the photo below: What did they carry in them pouches? It's not like they can fit a...
I'm doing a scratch built RR AC, in my travels through the internet I see the rear doors devided in half, some are devided about a quarter of the way up. I want to do as early a version as possibly. ? Does anybody know why and when the doors were devided and which came first or were the first versions just soli...
Hi gents Considering that most probably no plans of German WW I Tractors have survived until that day, detail shots play an important role as reference material for the modeller.? Thanks to ebay,? we have luck that such a photo surfaces from time to time ... Here a recent and not too bad rear pic of an D?r...
Both these subjects have been raised in days gone by. Have managed to get a look at a copy of Easterly's improbably named The Belgian Rattlesnake, and it throws some light on the Lewis in Belgian and Russian hands. It doesn't clear everything up, but gets us a bit further forward. Lewis's first 4 protot...
?Reply?Quote??Edit Post? Hi there !?I just get a couple of the latest WWI artillery pieces from H?t, namely the 4.5 inch QF Howitzer and the Austro-Hungarian 7.5cm Gebirgskanone M.15. The kits are simple and look pretty nice. Of course they cry for detailing, but isn't it where the modelling pleasu...
The Panzermuseum at Munster indicates the gunsight used in the A7V was produced by Zeiss. Period photos of the vehicle's interior, however, seem to show a Goerz panoramic sight- in both cases the Sockellafette mount seems to have been used (as the Bocklafette relied on open sights). As Zeiss seemed...

Inspired by the plans by Roger Todd on Landships I'm planning to scratchbuild a model of the Fosters Battletank. Obviously there will be a little bit of "artistic license" involved - especially where the tail wheels are concerned. However there is one thing I've not been able to work out m...
Strelets have posted some more pics of their soon-to-be-released big guns. I'm very pleased to see they did not waste any of their budget on a Graphic Design artist: The other box art can be seen here: http://www.strelets-r.co...
A previous topic - "The LKIII?" - from January 2007 made a request for any other views of the LKIII (other than the usual cutaway one of its proposed power train) and featured an excellent side view by Tim Rigsby. Since then I have tried to hunt out any more plans/ illustrations, but without s...
? I've had a request for drawings of the wheels/hubs for a 15cm M1893 Howitzer. The gun in question is located in a tiny town in Northern Victoria called Nyah (attached). It's one of two 15cm M1893s in Australia - the local RSL in Swan Hill (nearest large town) is interested in restoring this gun and a pai...
Hello friends,after a long time?not posting,I found time to update some pics of Rib?court-village. One house is ready,the others have to be finished. Hope you like the pictures, greetings,Hans.
Hello everyone, I havn't been on here for a while but have an odd question. Have just returned from a trip to Belgium and while poking about in the Flanders Mud, just off the Menin Road , by Hell Fire Corner?I found a piece of steel plate 23x23.5x1.5?cm with four rivet holes (one each corner).? Its stampe...
I'm doing a large scratch built RR armored car, the only thing that remains a mystery is the linkage from the cab to the latches on the armored doors in front of the radiator. If anyone has a photo or sketch it would be most helpful. ? Thanks. ? Jim
I was hoping someone out there could help.I am looking for images showing detail of British cavalry horses,saddle equipment etc. I have a good pic from the Osprey British Army in World War 1 (2) this shows the side (???) with the rifle I need details of the other side. Am having masters made for a set of ca...
Bonjour, In G.B.M. (Guerre, Blind?s et Mat?riels) n? 98 - Octobre-D?cembre 2011,?a very good topic, by Guy Fran?ois, about the French heavy tank FCM 1A, with some very good photos and plans of this tank. Bonne lecture - Michel -- Edited by Tanker on Wednesday 12th of October 2011 09:28:42 AM
I think this is an 1899 pattern 10cm piece. The breech is dated 1902 and indicates it was made at Spandau. -- Edited by jagjetta on Tuesday 18th of October 2011 04:23:37 PM
