As I promised here is what I did to correct the gun turret. First I cut a lenght of Evergreen plastic rod that is 7/16 or .437(11.1mm)? the same height as the opening but .020(.508mm) short. You will see why later.? I drilled a hole at the highest point of elevation and the lowest. I then cut in between the h...
Well I am getting there. This time I added the side plate to the turret opening. I made it the same width as the Emhar kit. I drilled out the vision port by drilling two holes and cutting the plastic in between. The pistol port cover is from .010x.040(.25x1.016mm) strip styrene that I rounded at the end an...

I recently picked up a German manufactured Ottoman Foot Artillery panoramic sight most likely for the 15cm s.F.H. 1913 or the 15cm. lg.s.F.H. 1913.Also another possible candidate is the 10cm Kanone 1914 but I am not sure if this one made its way to the Ottoman Empire in its last days.The sight is gradu...

I'm very grateful to Herr Oswald Schwitter, who has allowed me to look at several maps, both French and German, showing the disposition of troops and defences at the southern end of the Front. They absolutely confirm that the line settled on the River Largue as shown here. There were some strongpoint...
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...

Would I be right to say the HMLS Dragonfly had a MKI male sponson on one side, and a MKI female sponson on the other? I read this somewhere, but now I have forgotten...

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.

I've seen a few pictures of A7Vs on flat cars, and I want to build one to put an A7V on.? Does anyone know of a kit of one of their flat cars, or one that I can convert?? I can't find much on WWI German rail stock.? I can't even find a good photo or plan with measurements.? Any kind of help would be appreciated!
