I don't think this has been mentioned recently. Retrokit France seem to be available at Tracks'n'Troops. The armoured cars and the Berliet are advertised, as are some new figures: MG08 with early crew Vickers with early/late crew Hotchkiss with late crew Browning with US crew Scottish infantry (S...
i want to scratch build the tank found on this site from the crude drawing of the side view. My question is as far as the turret is concerned it looks to me like it may be square? with round corners for the machine gun turrets and if so would there be a hatch on top and if so would it be center or offset round or sq...
...below is a photo someone sent me several years ago,? and I've forgotten the museum's location.? Pictured is a l.Feldwagen 95.??? Does this look familiar to anyone out there ?
Have now read the article in Tank Zone, and it clears up one or two things. It was already my understanding that when Estienne approached Joffre with his ideas he was put in touch with Schneider, where development of the Baby Holt was already well under way and had been for some months. He certainly didn...

Peter: The cop is for "Whoa, hold on a bit here!" We just went through the entire go round on how to tell the two different 15cm slK i.R.L. (also commonly known as the 15cm sK i.R.[15cm schwere Kanone in R?derlafette]) apart! The small un-clickable photo in the top lef...
This is my latest effort, I tryed a decent aproximation to a post WW1 tractor towing a U.S.or?British WW1 ?fiedkitchen. Both models are based in a media of?the?photos from the era, particulary the kitchen is based on the "Eclipse" Model, as a general idea. Thanks to Mr. Jorge Dominguez fo...
Greetings, The first photo of No. 9907 was probably taken in the United States. Does anyone know to what unit it was assigned? I can't really discern the markings on the front of the hull but think I can recognize a 65? (65th Engineers Heavy Tank Co? ). Thank you! John A-G Jackson, MO USA
latest Tank Zone has a very interesting article about the origins of the Schneider tank and separating the true Estienne input from others (Brilli?, Schneider, Breton) Especially developped is the origins of the tracked vehicle concept which apparemently was NOT the early idea of Estienne (it se...
Still can't find accurate images that I need for modeling purposes. Short of going to Bovington to photograph the machine itself, can anyone help with side and end elevation images and how the track units are attached to the main body? Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
Hi Everyone, I'm a Meccano modeller and I'm looking for schematic drawings of Little Willie, the protoype tank currently residing at Bovington Tank Museum. If anyone can help, it sure would beat a trip there in person! Most of all, I'm interested to see how the crawler sections are attached to the mai...
Maybe you can help me? I?m looking for several TV documentarys: "The Underground War" -Channel 4; 1998 "Battlefield Scavengers" - ITV; 2000 "The Forgotten Battlefield" - BBC; 2002 "The Trench" - BBC; 2002 (from Dominic Ozanne, not the Daniel Craig mo...
Greetings, I am looking for any photos of a particular Mk. V: No. 9060 which was commanded by Lt. Richard Averill Parke. It was knocked out by a direct hit on September 28, 1918, while approaching the jump-off line. The 301st's after-action report records the crew as "shell shocked".? Par...

Hello Everyone
I am currently doing a project on German late war and Frikorps/Reichswehr Armoured Cars,
Like the Krupp-Daimler Gepanzerten Kraftwagen Sd Kfz. 3, the DZVR, and also the Benz VP21, as well as the Schuposondwerwagen, or any improvised armoured cars, like those used by the...
Sort of. I wasn't aware of this (from Wikipedia): A model of the Tsar Tank is featured in a montage sequence depicting the slaughter of World War I in Sergei Eisenstein's 1927 film October: Ten Days That Shook the World. Anyone seen it?
I've been restoring a 10.5cm le FH 16 (I believe) for the Town of Andover, MA until I read an excerpt from H Jager on another subject which gave me pause.? The carriage has a date of 1918 on it but the barrel's markings are from 1910.? Based on the markings I believe I have a Reinmetall howitzer but now am not...
I just acquired that postcard of a German (Imperial Eagle) armored truck with a huge reel underneath. Any idea of what iT is? IT also seems like the pix was taken somewhere near palm trees!!??
