Not having a great deal of luck with model companies?recently......! Back in November I sent an order off to Matador Models for the first time, wasn't too surprised when I didn't hear anything for a month, but then a couple of months went by with nothing heard, so sent a letter asking if they'd received...

Trying to collect and collate more info on Turkish motorised transport. This did exist (accounts of the trapping and destruction of the Turkish 7th Army by the RAF and AFC describe columns of lorries being straffed and bombed). It seems that Turkey purchased numbers of the Praga R lorry (also used in...

Below are a photo of the 155mm version (from Brussels) that is supposed to be close in view to the 120mm (if much less stable & successful). Plus a Gun Drawing of the 120mm (supposedly) Plus a Photo of the 120mm described as 1890 Baquet. I can't reconcile these images? I am interested as the Serbs are...

Hi, I recently purchased Emhar's 1/35th scale Mk IV Male. Normally I model WWII onwards but have always hankered after having a WWI tank. Anyway, having purchased the beast I then saw Terry Ashley's review in PMMS and noted his comments about the Sponsons - how the kit ones are at right angles to the hul...
Hello Guys, I thought I would share with you some drawing from a book I received for Christmas, It deals with Austro-Hungarian vehicles used in the First World War, My only problem with it is, it is in Hungariann.

I'm looking to broaden my knowledge on WW1 armoured cars - can anyone reccomend some? I've got 'War Cars' by David Fletcher, and looking to buy 'Steel chariots in the desert' by a Rolls Royce a/c driver in the desert, but they're the only ones I know of
Hi all, can anyone give any kind of info about this french trench mortar? I would like to model this gun on 1/35 but have only two old b/w pics and need more than this for detailing.
I think the first picture could well be of the mysterious Berthier machine-gun that we tried to fathom out some time ago. These are Belgian Grenadiers, and they must be pre-War since they're wering bearskins. The gun on the cart looks like the Berthier that can be seen towards the bottom of this page ht...

I know the Emhar Mk IV can be back dated to a Mk II or Mk III but is it possible to go as far back as a Mk I for a supply tank. I have the Airfix kit but I like the tracks in the Emhar kit better since you can glue them on.
I found these interesting photos,?http://englishrussia.com/?p=5241#more-5241 It's good to see that some places are restoring WW1 tanks, though they look quite well preserved in the first place. jch
