Believe it or not I am getting ready to paint my Mk II supply tank and I was wanting to know if Model Master # 4846? Dark Earth ANA 617 would be a good match? I know Humbrol 29 is the best but I prefer acrylics and I am limited in choices to Tamiya and Model Master in my area. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. I am about to attempt a grey on grey camouflage scheme with my new airbrush! The model to be my test piece is one of my son's wargaming tanks (GW) and I have used their paints as I have them on hand. I've used a blue/grey for my base coat over a black undercoat, which colour should I use next a lighter grey o...
I haven't seen this before. The Best 75 from a different angle. Fred Crismon says that the side-on view of this vehicle shows troops of the California National Guard, but this pic is from a recruiting brochure showing Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky.
Hi After Ian P's comment on the Forum I hope it's OK that I let you know that I have set Paypal up. It's at times like this when you realise how much Peter is missed. Any news ? ?????????????????
Have mentioned this on the H?T site, but now more discrepancies have become apparent. The account of the Belgian Army's actions is very detailed and well worth reading. After the retreat from Antwerp they withstood numerous German attacks on the Yser Front for about 6 weeks before flooding the area...
Attached is a scan of a photo of a diorama made by the very talented Stefan Szymanski. The complete article can be seen in Military Modelcraft International, May 2010 Vol 14 Number 7.

Latest edition No. 4284 caught my eye in the newsagent's this morning. Something on the cover rang a bell. Although the story is about the BEF in early WWII, there is a drawing of an Uhlan and a chap in a lemon-squeezer hat. It seems that someone at Commando has learnt of The Legion Of Frontiersmen. http:...

I've seen Dinnaken described as the tank that drove through Flers with the British army cheering (walking) behind (there seem to be many versions of the quote). But I've also seen this ascribed to Creme de Menthe see the obit notice in the Gloucesters Regimental Handbook

'You always want trenches; you ought to ha ben born a rabbit, Snippy.' Well through sheer luck I was born a rabbit and yes I want trenches! Apologies all my Bully Beef friends for not posting sooner I'm having bouts of not being well though luckily I'm on the waiting list for surgery. This time I might jus...
I've found an enormous photo that claims to be of a Mk I femail at Flers. Its too big to scan the whole thing (it covers two pages in a coffee table sized book) but I've enclosed a section showing the front of the tank and another showing the gun flap in the cab. I hope there is enough detail - its...

Whilst pondering the question of the Kgl. S?chs. Sturmpanzerwagen Abteilung (I presume that would be the correct designation?) and the Kgl. W?rtt. unit discussed in an earlier thread, I referred back to the Osprey book on German tanks. I am surprised I had not made the connection with this passage b...
Hi All! A friend of mine bought a group of documents of a German tanker of WW1. Believe it or not ... he now owns an award certificate of the German "Erinnerungsabzeichen fuer Kampfwagenbesatzungen" (Badge for tankers WW1). He now is looking for further information regarding Lt. Geyer. I...

Just a heads up about a new Aussie movie - "Beneath Hill 60" - a movie about the tunnelers before the Battle of Messines in 1917. There is a website - www.beneathhill60.com.au - it's going to be released on April 15th. I heard the author of the book of the same name on radio - he said that a lot of e...

Now I would like to have the correct version of the Marienwagen history. - When was the project started? - What w...
