I don't know if we've had this before, but I've come across a reference to a tank simply described as "Schneider". Weight 141 tons, L40ftxW10'9"xH9'8", 3 x 75mm guns, 9 x mgs, three turrest, Crew 28. Produced by Schneider, total production 1, date not stated. Sounds like the K-...
First pic is drawing of the Delaunay-Belleville 2.5 ton proposal of 1916. Second is of the D-B project that was finally abandoned in the 1920s. The latter seems to be very different and has clearly borrowed from Renault in several respects. Are these the same tank?
Thanks to Black Lion the decals for Sir Reginald are being worked on so I have no excuse to not finish the Emhar kit. Humm..... I didn't think about that!
Every time I try to make a contribution to the forum it dosen't accept my credit card. Any one else have this trouble and any suggestions to help in the cost?
Hello to all, I was just wondering if anyone on the form had accquired an A7V from FSF. I would be very interested in pics of the completed model, and info pertaining to the kit, especially in how it is compared to the Emhar kit (Which by the way completly disappeared from the internet two weeks ago! I can'...
I finished the tracks on the Mk II supply tank. After the XF-52 Light Earth base coat I used Tamiya Red Brown to paint the tracks. I then dry brushed the with Gun Metal and finally I dry brushed the raised detail with Model Master Silver.
I can't find this via the search engine, but apologies if this has been asked before. Does anyone know when the Austro-Hungarian army ceased to paint its gun carriages the sort of ochre used in the early nineteenth century? And what colour their artillery pieces were in 1914?
In the process of building?the Mark II Female - "COO-COO", does anyone know if there were any Mark IIs that didn't have grousers? Also, does anyone know the serial numbers of COO-COO? Cheers very much. Hugh
I'd heard of this device before, and have just read two highly contradictory accounts of its service and usefulness. Both agree that it was invented by a Belgian officer. The more favourable version says that it was an excellent weapon and came to replace the various models of 58mm spigot in the Frenc...
This photo taken on the set of Westfront 1918, showing the replica "Renaults". It appears to be from the Bundesarchiv. Maybe there's some more stuff there. -- Edited by James H on Tuesday 7th of September 2010 12:11:06 PM
