Greetings, Attached is a photo of an Armstrong-Whitworth Armor Car in the hands of Japanese Soldiers in Vladivostock in 1919. I assume it is one of 36 Armstrong-Whitworth cars delivered to the Tsar between 1913 and 1916. My question, though, is this: Does anyone know the circumstances in which the J...

Came across this 1970s book at a friend's this weekend. (We suspect that it's actually mine, but it was so long ago I can't remember lending it to him) Anyway, the embarrassing part is that all the stuff I was so proud of having discovered about the Hussite War Wagons?is in there. So are the Batter Tracto...

Hey all. I edit ACMOC Magazine for the Antique Caterpillar Machinery Owners Club and we've been researching a story on the Holt-powered G9, and I came across this forum and a quote that I have been trying my best to track down, to no avail. In this forum post - http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark...

Nuno Cabe?adas of Portugal has made a Mark V in 1/72 out of the Emhar kit. I don't think he is a member of this forum, so he has given me permission to post these photos of his work.
A bit off-topic but I wonder if anyone has info. Am continuing to delve into the Persian/Mesopotamian Campaigns and am stuck. First, Turkish troops invaded Persia from the Van area in late 1914 and got as far as?Khoi, NW of Tabriz. They were then defeated by the Russians and pushed back into the O.E. En...

Hello Guys! I would like to share the progress of my scratch built A7V. I think the painting on the armoured body is done for about 90 percent. I need to finish some paint chips and I need to add some rust streaks. Now I will start with the chassis![IMG]https://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff181/Pet...
For the purposes of an illustrated talk, I'm looking for photographs of Tank crew casualties. I have seen some gruesome pics of a crew burnt to death while trying to escape (probably of the same vehicle, one with German troops posing next to them) but can't find them now. Any pics or links will help. Fre...
Dear All, today I would like to share again something I just bought for my collection. It is a farewell present to German Captain from his comrades. Among other things the treaty of Versailles forbid tank troops for the German Reichswehr. But a small troop called the "Kraftfahrtruppe" (m...
I've noticed that the 'yesterday' channel is showing the series 'Tank Overhaul' at the moment - the paper decribed this as 'an awesomely specialist interest program'. I saw several of them a while ago when it was on one of the other channels - it really is close to tank nerd nirvana. 'Yesterday' is on fr...

I've been looking at the photos of the back of Mk IV's on the website, and I've noticed that on both Loadstar and Flirt the unit which projects between the rear track horns is clearly sloped downwards - but on the one in the Aberdeen proving ground is vertical. What is this, and why are there two different...
