I see a lot of kits come out one after another of German WW2 kits including those of little- or never-produced vehicles, but it seems that for WW1, everything British or French or American is being produced. You'd think we'd be seeing plenty of 77mm cannons or support vehicles by now. Understandabl...
Did Defensively Armed merchant Ships and Q Ships create Unrestricted Submarine Warfare? I was just reading on the internet that the author thinks the arming of merchant ships, making them outgun submarines, and then finally creating Q Ships to trap and destroy submarines made it too dangerous for...
I've received an email from someone whose grandfather was a gunner in #8021 when it was ditched, broke down and was abandoned on 23/4/1918. It seems that there are no images of #8021 on line and I said I'd ask on the forum if anyone has or knows of an image of this tank. Anyone? Charlie
I am presently working on creating a replacement driver/commanders cupola (width corrected, rivet detail etc, etc) and a ‘roof’ with the circular access and riveted joints corrected etc (with thanks to Mk1 Nut and all the work she has done). My prototype print indicated a need to increase the size...
You are probably aware that I have been posting improvements for the new MB Mk 1 tank steering? tail and that I have mentioned that some of the techniques apply to the Airfix unit.? Well in an idle moment I started modifying a spare Airfix tail and decided I should post the work for anyone to follow, well a...
This may appear to be a dumb question but someone out there might have the answer. I have managed to obtain a resin gun carrier but I would like to improve it by adding the rear steering wheels as seen on many pictures of this afv. unfortunately I have drawn a blank on the internet on how they were attached ....

Hi guys, been awhile since I last made a post on Landships. I am currently making a 3D animation on the production of ww1 tanks for a project of mine, and I was wondering if anyone has information on how the tanks were built step by step. It would be greatly helpful. This is my current progress of some of the...
Is there any true in the story that the first MkIs built at Fosters at Lincoln were dark Green in colour? Seems rather far fetched that the good Lincolnshire buisnessmen that owned Fosters used up available paint available from their stores. I ask because it would be a alternative to the usual brown. F...
Citizens. These two stills are from a Facebook video reel. The whole thing (10 seconds) can be seen here https://www.facebook.com/reel/1145652263666731 It purports to show two Renault FP tractors (one in the background, on the right), and some soldiers who might or might not be Belgian and/or Fr...
I'd like to know more about this brave man. As probably most of us know he was a Belgian officer who ordered to armour his two private cars after the war broke out. For many years it seemed like those were Minervas, but now it looks like those were Opel and Pipe, however later most of?Belgian armoured cars...
Is anyone familiar with this variation of the Gruson. I am unsure if it is the 5,3cm or the 5,7cm but understand it was in service in the German colony of South West Africa (Namibia). R/ Ralph Lovett -- Edited by Ralph Lovett on Tuesday 23rd of September 2025 02:57:54 PM
On my desk, the new Tankograd book «Kraftwagen-Flak» (Author: Jochen Vollert /Length: 96 pages /Price : € 36.-).I always appreciate articles, books, and etc. on areas of history not really explored by past researchers and authors. And to my knowledge, this is the first book on this lesser-know...
I finished the earlier builds with the sentence: "Now I am waiting for more kits that has been on their way from England over a month." Delivery took only tree and a half month from England to Sweden. For some reason they had been returned it instead of delivered. But in the end I got my kits.Back to th...
After my Hedi scratch build I had a complete A7V hull from Emhar left and decided on an experiment. I started by removing all gun mounts on the in and outside and sanded it flat. I also removed the grills in the roof. I covered the holes with masking tape on the outside I then filled the holes with super glue...
I am working on a model for a client and I am stuck on a few details. If anyone has a photo of the 105mm Schneider mle 1913 from a museum or somewhere else where the details are clearly visible, especially the barrel and surrounding area, it would be great if you could share it with me, because I have already...
TANKOGRAD 1015 “Kraftwagen-Flak”By Jochen VollertIt is with great pleasure and satisfaction to announce the forthcoming release of World War One Special 1015 “Kraftwagen-Flak”! It is a completely fresh approach on the subject, with plentiful new information and “eye-candy” photographs...
I always liked the PSC WW1 range for their games especially the 18pdr. Pity they disappeared off the scene along with all the figures. Managed to get the French soldiers but failed to get the German and British extra figures. Such is life. Many years ago now I managed to pick up a number of damaged MkIV 1...
How remarkable. We all know that Churchill called the Landship Committee into existence, but what about this?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Watts_(naval_architect)
Probably the most impressive German artillery tractor of WWI: the Dürkopp 100hp. The factory manual once was sold on Ebay and Jochen Vollert of Tankogad publishing kindly provided me with copies of the technical drawings and illustrations out of the document. Long time I still had no idea, how the m...
Hi all I just completed this Roden Holt 75 tractor. Nice kit of a unusual subject, and lot of room to improve it😊 -- Edited by Luca on Sunday 3rd of August 2025 02:08:27 PM
I finished this Master Box 1/72 scale Austro-Hungarian armoured car back in 2022, it's been waiting since then for a home! The landscaping is formed from PU insulation foam skimmed with plaster, the small section of wall was cut down from a Preiser set, the lefthand figure is a modified Orion German t...
