Hi all, this grenade launcher, has any one more information about the 'weapon'? As it looks quite sophisticated, or at least made by a skilled carpenter, I assume it is not a Do It Yourself product made by inventive soldiers. regards, Kieffer

Hi everyone. in this colour artwork: we can see some jerry cans in red colour. Was this right? Was the jerry cans of Tank Corps in red or it?s only a product of the artist?s imagination?
Greetings:New photo of a US MKV...I can make out "NOCK-EM" on the front but was wondering if anyone knows if that is the full name of the tank and if they can attribute a number to it. John -- Edited by jagjetta on Wednesday 9th of February 2011 05:58:23 PM
With Orion's 1/72 quadruple Maxim AA set out now, there are some conversion possibilities. The figures should be useful for WW1 too after a headswap and carving away the breast pockets. http://hobbyterra.com/product.asp?idProduct=3467 Unfortunately, the Russians didn't use the quadruple M...

I'm curious . . . is there a simple formula to compare the size of artillery rounds as far as weight (e.g., 13 pounder) to bore size (e.g., 3 inch or 75 mm)? Al

They hadnt made armour models for some time but I visited their site yesterday and it looks like they have started again.? No Little Willie but they have a 1/35 Mk VIII and French Schneider...
It's been ages since I've posted here so hello to everyone. I wanted to share with you a new online game called World of Tanks. It's basically like a first-person shooter, but in a tank. You start out small, earn experience points (XP) and silver coin to upgrade your tank. Once it's maxed out you can move...
Im fairly new to the forum and I wanted your input.? A few years ago I began planning the build on a 1/6 scale R/C?Mark IV. I did the research and decided? to first try to build?a?cardboard mockup before building the aluminum R/C one.??Years later, Im finally ready to tackle this project once again, Her...

Hi, ? Im currently studying for a military history degree and i need to appeal to your expansive knowledge. I have decided to explore the role and contributions of the tanks sent to the Middle East between 1916 and 1918 for my dissertation. I understand that there may not be the same level of literature...

Can anyone supply details or point me at a source of stats on this gun please? I mean info on measurements, weights etc. Many thanks for any help. Even a book I can refer to would be fine. The request comes as a follow -up to the post I made about the British use of what appears to have been this gun in China in 1...
I know this is OT ie preWWI but you people have come up with the goods before!I have searched the archives for a mention, but whilst there is a passing reference in one thread, no details were provided.A book on the Hong Kong Royal Artillery (Denis Rollo.

I cannot find many good sources about the battle of Cambrai on the internet or in the library, so I was hoping I could ask your community some questions. If you have found a good source I would be very greatful. 1. Was the town of Flesqui?res fortified ? 2. Was it bombarded by artillery? 3. Did the 51st High...
I've started messing around with this kit.? I've had it for a few years but I got the bug and had to play with it. The surface detail is really nice, and pretty refreshing after building the Emhar Mk.IV! But there are some disappointing parts about it, mostly the representation of the bottom and inside f...
Everyone's favourite Internet reference site has agreed to call the article on the Renault FT the "Renault FT". So far, anyway. If you would like to examine their reasoning, which is always entertaining, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Renault_FT Many thanks to Fran?...
