The previous thread reminded me of a topic I've been meaning to raise.... The Landships site has some articles on the licence built versions of the 75mm Krupp export guns but there isn't an article which brings the information on licence built and exported guns together. The Krupp 75mm gun was, argua...
Hi all, this is my latest build. It is the Renault FT by Hat. I have added improvements with strip stryene.rod,brass wire and Archer Surface Details. I still have a few more items to add and the tracks are not glued on yet.
I am searching for a photo and any history in connection with the above amoured car that has been identified as?deployed on the North West Frontier in 1936 with 8th Light Tank Company, Royal Tank Corps and was commanded by a Corporal Morton. I appreciate that this is post WW1 but am trying to establish w...
Here are the Mack AC pictures. They are a little darker then the model so I will need to work on lighting some more. I also have a photo of it loaded with a unfinished Hat Renault FT. The Mack needs some more weathering on it.
Looking for pictures of motorcycles I read that British dispatch riders were named 'Don R', according to a phonetic alphabet. 'Ack Emma' stands for a.m, Pip Emma for p.m, there was Tock Emma for trench mortar, O Pip for observation post etc. Today I think the so called Nato alphabet is in use, but does a...
Well it took about a year but I did finish a Great War model. My beautiful wife bought me the RPM kit of the Mack AC Bulldog typ EHT in 1/72 scale for Christmas 2009. I will post pictures as soon as I can. I am also working on the Hat Renault FT with the Berliet turret and 37mm cannon. I am using the Landships II R...
A very happy find. Unternehmen Michael, made in 1937. Features a replica Beutepanzer that performs heroically, albeit at implausibly high speeds, in the German 1918 offensive. A couple of British replicas also appear. It's a full-length feature, so if you don't want to watch all the way through, t...
Stumbled across this. Never heard of it before. Sounds a bit like Sergeant York, except that the hero is an American?boxer who rejects violence outside the ring. He gets called up, and, once in the trenches - guess what? Anyway, the point is that this still shows an FT17 (probably an M1917) so there mus...
Ladies and Gentlemen! Here are couple of photos of my tanks: 1. Whippet "Sphinx" of the General Denikin's Southern army, together with the Mk V n:0 9186. Mk V is completely scratch built. 2. Renault FT of the General Judenitsh's Northwestern army in Tallinn. This is old Matchbox. 3. Mediu...
Hi These were difficult to photograph,so apologies for the poor quality. There are various ammo boxes,wheelbarrow and duckboards. Also various calibre of shells. As these don't require instructions etc they will be out a lot sooner !!!! Hope you like them.
Just collected them. Very nicely engineered. 133 pieces to make 41 figures and machine gun. The mg alone is 5 pieces and the gunner 3, and the result is excellent. Almost all the men have separate arms and optional packs. Which means a great deal of gluing is required. Anyone know if they take ordinary p...
After reading half way through Ospreys latest W.W.I book by Steve Zaloga I can say it is a winner. It covers the Schneider CA, St Chamond and the Renault FT tank. There is a small section on camouflage which is helpful. Tony Bryans color paintings are excellent as well as Mr. Zalogas text. There is quite...
The Artillery Museum at North Head in Sydney is to close at the end of this year. The Austrlaian Army has pulled the pin on the museum after the nominal land owner - the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust imposed unacceptable rent and access conditions on the site. The collection will be moved into storag...
Hello everyone, I was wondering if there would be anyway to scratch build or modify an existing kit into WWI German Motorcycles. If anyone has suggestions or has done anything like this before, please post and tell. Warmes regards, Josh.
I don't know how many know about these journals here, but for me this was a new thing, eventhough I have visited this site several times. All Armored Car journals of David R. Haugh, here in PDF. Some interesting articles: Issue 1 - Minerva Issue 3 - Armored Cars in Baltic States 1918-1940 Issue 4 - White-...
One of the gifts I recieved from my lovely wife was "AFV Plans 1914-1938 Armored Fighting Vehicles" by George Bradford. ISBN 978-0-8117-0568-4 and published by Stackpole Books(www.stackpolebooks.com). The drawings are very well done and are in the popular scales with a scale conver...
Therer has always been some debate as to what colour the gaza tanks were painted. I wish I could say that they were oainted monochrome "desert camouflage", but from the photos, they look like darker shades with a pattern of sorts, yet not like the?Solomon designation. Any ideas to solve th...

Well I finally got some time to do some modeling so I am showing this one picture to see where I am so far. This is the right sponson and as you can see most of the modifications are like the left side. I have cut the gun turret to finish size and I have begun the layout of the openings. After I reviewed the Lands...
