Unfortunately don't have my copy of David Fletcher's 'British Tanks 1915-19' with me so can't reference that, but does anyone have information on when the Gun Carriers i) actually carried and used in anger either the 60 pounder or 6 inch howitzer and ii) where/when they used them? If anyone has photo...
Perhaps the most useful thing to emerge from the dreadful WWI From Above is a link to? this remarkable film of the French use of kites for aerial reconnaissance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5dJ9TwaIt4
Hi I'm sure that this has been discussed somewhere, but my search-fu is rather letting me down here. Ever since I saw this photo in a book I've rather wanted to produce a model inspired by it, now I'm sort of ready to get on with it I want to be sure what I'm looking at. The book described it as a Mark II - in as mu...

Hasegawa are asking for suggestions. It's a long shot, but you never know your luck! http://www.hasegawausa.com/suggest-a-model.html Self explanatory when you get to their page.
I am informed, more or less from the horse's mouth, that Max Hundleby is about to release an updated book on the A7V, containing?a great deal of?new information. I'll have the details by next Monday. Amongst other things, it apparently explains the Imperator matter that intrigued us a few months ago...

There has been some discussion on this forum about the Mendeleyev tank, but little actual information on it. The Mendeleyev tank (or self-propelled-gun, to be specific) was one of the first AFVs ever designed, done so by the famous Russian chemist Dimitriv Mendeleyev. Of course, it looks simple, a...

I have been searching for information on the WW1 Vickers MG and have been looking for info on the MK 1 and her offspring when I stumbled onto your site/forum. That was a day and a half ago. I have been roaming around here since. Not lost, just admiring the work that I have seen. Excellant work and research o...
Hi everyone. I've just started building World War One kits after I got the Roden Rolls Royce Armoured car. This was something I've been after in a decent size in kit form for a very long time. My friend was building a trio of PanzerShop kits, the Gun tractor really took my fancy and seeing those built up wh...
I'm trying to figure out where the A7V's drive sprocket grips the track, (pity me, I don't have access to Whitmore or Hundleby & Strasheim nor do I have the AU$300plus needed to purchase them).? I've looked over several photographs and diagrams and the only conclusion I could come to was that the l...
Having inspected many plans of the A7V I am not completly sure of the width of the Track link. If anyone has a heads up, I would be interested to know. Regards Ian:O)
Pictures of a Mark V in what looks like camoflaged defensive firing position surfaced on ebay.de recently with a caption that suggests the vehicle was a captured Estonian vehicle used by Red Army during in the summer of 1941. The two images from the auction can be found here: http://forum.axishisto...

Hi you lot. I recently stumbled upon an old?PC game that is set in The Great War. While most of the game models are historically accurate, there are some British Army vehicles that I can't clearly identify, due to poor game graphics and because they are just labelled as "GBMedicCar", "...
Was this gun called the QF 2-pdr Mark II? I mean the one used by the RMA in WW1. And I am looking for a couple of good pictures of one to use in article; can anyone help?
Well I am starting to finally finish the Mk II supply tank and I was wondering if anybody knew the dimensions for boxes or rather crates for Mills bombs and ammo. Either cartridge or 6 pounder would help. From what I have read these supply tanks carried a great deal of stores in and on top of the tank so I wou...
I was doing some research for a friend on Col-Gen Hoth and was surprised to see that he had been awarded the panzer badge in WWI. Does anybody have any info on the award and the criteria for its award during WWI? Tony

Came across this. Just outside Liege, the fort was amongst those destroyed by the Germans in Aug 1914. The Museum has some fantastic displays, including many uniforms, notably those of the somewhat neglected Fortress Artillery, and lots of other good stuff. http://www.fortdeloncin.com/index...
In the recently published German Panzers 1914-18 by Steven J. Zaloga illustrated by Brian Delf there is a small photograph of a A7V Schutzengrabenbagger trench digger. Does anyone have more information on this use of the A7V?
Did the British have any similar devices?
