I? just picked up the Airfix Mk I at my local hobby shop and it is a very nice kit. It contains parts for the Male as well but it only has decals and instructions for the Female version. I plan to do them as tanks at Gaza 1917. I will get the Black Lion decals as well.In the mean time I still have a lot to build.
Hi all, I was reading Wingates great thread and looking at his Grandfathers photos of E Coy. and I was thinking of doing Revenge , a Mk IV Female, at Gaza. At the same time I was also reading David Fletchers book" The British Tanks 1915-1919" and in it he says of 3 the Mk IVs sent to the Middle East...
While browsing various websites I found this, which although in Russian, the pictures speak for themselves. Well done to the modeller. Paul http://dishmodels.ru/gshow.htm?p=7340 -- Edited by Paul Bonnett on Friday 9th of July 2010 01:36:33 AM
I found these photos of modified FT-17s in Afghanistan. Does anyone know if they were used by the Taliban at one point? From what I know, two are in the USA, still in storage (I think) and the (two?)?others have dissappeared in the scrapyard...?

I have finished the build portion of the Mk II and I am ready to star painting it. I still need to make the stowage but the biggest part is done. I hope you like it.
Now out of production (but as Matador Models have bought the BK Modelcraft moulds and have released some of their kits, i'm hoping this one will come out again) is this static model of the 20hp Simplex petrol r...
Finally completed the Matador Models AEC Y Type 3 ton Lorry. Switched over to Loctite Control superglue halfway through and what a difference it made - lots of blobs on this one from the glue I originally used, and excess glue in the cargo bed prompted me to make the load in the back (although i'm glad I di...
The Imperial War Museum's First World War Tank doesn't mention if it has any combat history - does anyone know if Mk V T9171 saw combat at all during the war?
This is my first attempt to add rivets to the old, good Airfix Mk something... Stretched sprue cut in small pieces (less than 1mm) and placed to the model with a brush and Humbrol glue. Finally the whole process went fast, all the rivets were ready in less than 10 minutes. This was just a test to ensure tha...

HMLS Britannia fought at Arras. Its commander was a Richard Haigh at that time in B company. Haigh later commanded a tank in D battalion at Ypres (possibly D1) where he was wounded and he won the Military cross but in which tank I don't know. He later commanded another Britannia (probably named aft...
Hi all, I hope this has not been dicussed before. If it was: sorry, I didn't find it. I allways wondered why some Mark V had the louvres at the side and others don't. Then the idea crossed my mind that it depends on the point of view at the tank. Does anyone know why the louvres were only at one side? Regards Ch...

Hello all, can you help? I am trying to keep my sentences simple so that hopefully the speakers of Russian will understand me as well. I am interested in the Mgebrov White armoured car and want to find out a little more about it: 1. Was there just one or were there a few? 2. Was it used in WW1, and if so where? 3...
Hi, returning (sort of) to my last post in this section about the Uzbekistani soldiers uniform, and Sergey-Prokudin-Gorsky's early colour photography, I noticed on this photo (which many of you may have seen before) that the Russian guard on the left of the hut, is wearing the old 1894 (is that the da...
