The War ends. The Germans march home and de-mobilise themselves. The Allies take possession of all the German?tanks (mostly at Charleroi). French and other Allied forces occupy parts of Germany. A civil war breaks out in Germany with, amongst many factions, Spartakists on the political left, and...

Well, probably a softskin but not sure. Anyone identify what this Holt is towing? It's from the RASC film. It looks like Mesopotamia or Salonika. For a moment I thought it might be a relic from Fowler's Road Train.
Just read a contemporary?account in which the author describes the making of fascines and their intended purpose but goes on to say that they were "little used" at Cambrai. The pictures of them and the method of deployment are very familiar, but does anyone know if they were actually used...

I would like to draw everybody's attention to all the hard work Charlie has been doing for Landships2. I found out yesterday that even the stuff that looks simple takes an age to do, and yet Charlie still doggedly plugs away at it. I am sure everyone here will join me in saying, "Very well done, mate...
Recently bought a model of the Jeffery Quad Ammo Carrier; anyone have any clear picture showing the markings? I know it was in use with different nations and I'll go for any nationality, as long as the markings are clear... thanks, Michel.

Hi everyone. I have seen many times the Farina body armour, but I don?t know the method of wearing this body shield. I suppose that strong straps with hooks were needed. Did the shoulder pieces have straps that diagonally crossed the back and were buckled on the breastplate? Is it right? Does anyone ha...
This might seem like an entry-level question, but can anyone tell me exacly?how many?MGs were carried in the Mks I -IV? I have read conflicting accounts. As I understand it, Males had 1 MG in each sponson and Females 2 in each. AFAIK there was no ball-mount for in the cab until the Mk IV, and no provision f...

If you get The Tank Museum Plans Pack for the Mk IV Male tank I figured out the scale. It is 1/48.5 and if you reduce the drawing to 67% on your scanner/printer it is the same size as the Emhar kit. If you drop it to 66% that may be closer but for my purposes 67% is fine. I hope this helps everyone. -- Edited by pla...

Now here is the fourth category out of my collection. It would be great if you all could continue with pictures out of your collection. Kind Regards Chr...
