I've recently been looking into the Pierce Arrow lorry fitted with the 1 pounder pom pom, and will probably get the Matador kit. I was wondering if anyone knew of where they were deployed, except Northern France? I've been reading about the WWI air raids on London and the rest of the UK recently, and rea...

I have been trying to find the A7V and I've had a rough time of it. I live in the U.S. and most places seem to be out of it. Is it still in production?
I would like to know what is a good color for painting the 18 pounder ? I seen a photo of one in a museum and it was an olive color. Is this a good place to start?
Thank you for your help.
