Now that I've heard of that, I'd prefer to build one of these rather than attempting to make a cargo tank-the trucks were far more common anyway. I read that the British bought and used them even before the USA entered the war. Where can I find pictures of British use trucks? Photographs of course are...
Visit this Museum last month. Nice collection, modern display. I have almost all my pictures properly identified, still missing this heavy minenwerfer (don't know caliber and model): And this gun: I plan to post more pictures within the next few days Massimo

Not absolutely sure this is the correct section. but here's an interesting joyride, with at least one famous person amongst the party. Is it an FT? Wartime or post-war?
Does anyone have info on Thomson Steamers in India, Turkey.
I have lots on Hornsby Crawlers and Holts should you be interested.
Also, whatever happened the to Mark V tanks the Canadians were using
in 1940?
Hi people! After a long time I eventually complete a FCM2C from Meng, a very nice kit, I've built years ago but never painted until I found a interesting camo on the french GBM. The one I wanted to find! Â The tank is painted with an intersting scheme showing a green hull with camouflaged turrets and roof....
Hi all, I'm curretly researching the Hotchkiss 42mm mountain guns used by Chinese army in late 19th and early 20th century, at least 24 were purchased in 1895 to make up for the huge loss of guns in the Sino-Japanese War 1894-95. From contemporary Chinese manuals and photos it is clear that these guns...
It's been awhile since I was able to get any modeling done. Here is my completed Criel Models WWI Italian mountain gun. It's an old kit that needs work. I've added the following... the barrel has received eye rings, a turnbuckle, barrel tightening details, and a bit of detailing on top of the bree...
As part of compiling my sources from American Machinist, I found this photo on page 876 of Volume 49 (November 14, 1918 publishing date- found from this source): I have no idea what this howitzer is, or if it is even a real photo/illustration (it might be just an error and it's a 6-inch Model 1908). Â It se...
Since I posted my article on the Canon de 75's recoil system and how it was mass-produced by Singer in WWI, I had planned to post my other American Machinist sources at some point. Â During the isolation of the last few days, I finally got around to organizing all of the sources I found. Â These don't have a...
I am seeking information on e-company as my Grandfaster was in palestine driving Lady Wingate. Attached are some pictures -- Edited by wingate on Saturday 24th of April 2010 03:37:18 PM
I've been gone with life getting in the way. I've been wanting to build my American Field Service ambulance, and I assume the kit and colors are accurate, especially since I assume the early ambulances came in different designs to start out with. But I wanted to put at least a driver and maybe some lit...
Dear All! Â I searched the Forum for a link to a A7V movie Clip, but I can't find it. It shows captured Elfriede during test driving by the French. Â Can anyone help please? Â Thank you! Â Kind Regards Chris
Hi all, I noticed an ebay auction for a Savoy crestware WW1 tank, with the crest of Hastings.? Interestingly (for me at least) the piece has a number on the side - 515, and a name - Donner Blitzen.? The auction item number is?180205718531. My data base of Mark I tank names and numbers has very few D Company...
 This Turkish howitzer was on the Axis history forum but no one came up with an identification. There was a suggestion it was French but that seems unlikely since it uses a sliding wedge breech block - something the French didn't use. In terms of deployment it looks similar to the French 155 C Mle 1880 ho...
Empire troops in HMGC/tanks 1916-18.
I have a private reference to a Canadian A Coy tank commander in 1917. When volunteers were sought for the HMGC in 1916, were Dominion/Empire units canvassed, and if so how many Dominion soldiers were accepted, and where from?
Hello Landship-members! I found this unknown newspaper cutting last year. I wished I could join on one of these rides! But I was born many years later ....What was left for me ...... I had to make it as a model in 1:35th scale   http://www.southendtimeline.com/wartimenewspapers.htm)T...

Dear all,  I would like to share this item with you. I bought it on eBay for low Money.  Does anyone know what it is? Is it more a German Sketch in the beginning of the tank assaults or ist it a Sketch of a possible German model? The material is not paper - it seems to more or less something like linen. It seems...
