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...

I've just put up a detailed walkaround of the 21cm howitzer at Childers, Queensland. This one is more detailed (174 images) than the earlier walkaround. The images were taken by Shane Black. http://www.ammsbrisbane.com/reference/21_cm_2.html Regards, Charlie
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...
Dear All! Today it crossed already the 2nd time my mind to start a thread regarding Drawings on Post Cards (regarding Tanks, AFVs and other of course). 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...

No wonder this got past the censor! One of many artistic impressions of what the Tanks looked like before the official photos were released - obviously based on the Holt Tractor. Love the pincers at the front

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...
