I'd like to build some European railway gun trains that actually run on a model railway. Is anybody making kits that match either OO (1/76) or HO (1/87) guage ? Kits made to 1/72 would appear close enough to OO but the track size of OO is not to an accurate scale... P4 (1/76) is closer to accurate. Or do the d...
Just read an article reprinted from 1919 in which it says that the Belgian government intended to preserve the area within the walls of Ypres in its war-damaged condition as a permanent memorial. Clearly, that idea was abandoned at some point and the town was rebuilt with reparations paid by Germany...
Greetings to all! I`m searching information on the painting and camouflage techniques of the Erhardt/17 during WW1. The majority of the photos and discussions I`ve seen concern mostly the Freikorps period, which saw its innovations and it`s not always relevant for the war (e.g. the Totenkopf, us...

The machine guns in Emhars Whippet kit look bad, and I want to replace them with something better looking. I know they were Hotchkiss MGs, but apparently there were different types of Hotchkiss. I have looked at a lot of photos of Whippets, but none I have seen shows the MGs clearly enough. Can anyone he...

I've just discovered that if you get Zvezda's reliatively new Soviet Cossacks, and paint the cloaks and gymnastiorkas (tunics) grey, you get WWI Kuban-Terek cossacks! Also, I hear?that this winter, Zvezda will be releasing WWI Russian and German infantry in 1:72. And maybe they will scale them up...
If so, how well do they go together? Is everything molded right? Are there a lot of parts? Mainly worried about the Lebedenko. The spokes on the wheels look like a hassle.
