Hello everyone, ? The book "The Canadian Emma Gees" by C S Grafton describes how at Amiens, August 1918, tanks were used for the first time to carry MG crews forward in the attack.? It proved a failure as only 4 of 34 guns/crews reached their Blue Line objective. ? My father was a machine gunne...

Couldn't find the previous topic on this new release, but thought it worthy of starting a new one - received the WD Models Austin a/c in the post a few days ago as well as some other bits and had to give a short preview of it before I start building whenever I actually get the chance. The kit can be completed a...
