I?ve just got this plastic model kit of an "75mm World War I Artillery Piece"from "HALES Life-Like Model Kits". There?s neither a name of the gun model nor a scale of the model indicatet?! First I thought it could be the German? "7.7 cm Feldkanone? 96 n/A" but it seems...
Have just read an account of Gallipoli that mentions a trench mortar party. We are agreed that the Stokes wasn't available. What mortars were used there?
What are good fonts for making lettering for decals of WW1 vehicles in 1:35 scale?? I'm particularly interested in Brit, USA, and German vehicles but would like info on French and Italian as well. TIA, ? Al
What colour is this Whippet.................Grey? A further photo of this example can be found in the excellent book "The Landships of Lincoln" pp60, with the caption "A brand new Whippet gets the star treatment in Fosters yard" Looking at both photos in my mind it does not ap...
Just a short update on the French WW1 locotracteur from the Campagne Company. I have been adding countless rivets from Tichy Train and I'm not done yet. I have started on the upper works. They are a combination of soldered nickel silver plate and plastic card details. The rear plate is just a paper temp...
As you may know I am carrying out research into the British tank (or tanks) named Britannia that toured North America between the eighteenth of October 1917 and the seventeenth of January 1919.During this time Britannia was in New York on five occasions?18/10/1917 to 25/10/1917 fund raising and ge...
In case anyone might be interested, E.J. Morten (Booksellers) have a couple of books by/about Ernest Swinton: A signed U.S. First Edition (1933) of Eyewitness, "personal reminiscences of the Great War, including the genesis of the Tank." Appallingly expensive at ?115. Also one that'...
I've seen some nice images . . . both of the real thing and models . . . of Mobile Machince Gun Section (M.M.G.S) Model-T Fords with a Vickers (?) MG mounted on the left side of the dashboard.? Were these in regular service, and if so, where were they deployed and what was their record?? They are not to be con...
There are recorded instances of Male tanks being fitted with Female sponsons and Supply tanks being fited with Female sponsons. There appear to be no instances of Female or Supply?tanks being refitted with Male sponsons (or are there?). I suspect this is because simply fitting a male sponson would...
Browsing the web?I found this Resin A7V in 1/16 scale from Juwa Modelle. Maybe of interest? High price though at 219 Euros Regards Eddie -- Edited by taz at 23:38, 2008-09-22
I thought I'd bung this post in this section, as it's a 1952 subject. From an absolutely awesome site with tons of Modern Mechanixhttp://blog.modernmechanix.com/2007/04/13/why-dont-we-have-baby-assault-tanks/
I am building A7V and Mark IV male models and would like them to be as close to the configuation, colors and markings to the tanks that fought the first tank vs tank duel. I have been unable to get a detailed picture or description of A7V "Nixe" and would really appriciate any help. As to the Mar...
This photo is from the website of the Archives of Heilongjiang Province, China, shows Japanese FT-17s in action in the Second Sino-Japanese War. http://www.hljdaj.gov.cn/pic/20070914095916.jpg Look at its MG. It doesn't look like a Hotchkiss MG. I already know that some Japanese FT-17s and NC...
Here some pics from my 1/72 modelling time. Sadly I?d had to sell them before I could realise my diorama idea: A before and after dio of an Tank attack and the "rebirth" of an destroyed tank 80 years after. (Sources: http://panzermodelkit.valka.cz/vrakaj.htm; http://tank-cambrai.co...
After about 5 years of painting only Napolionic figures, I have become interested in the "Great War". The plan is to build a diorama of the battle of Cambrai, 20 Nov 1917. With a lot of MK IV tanks and attacking infantry, it will take me some time. Here are the first pictures, the tanks are not f...
Browsing through D G Browne's 'The Tank in Action' (1920) I noted a section on the work of the tank salvage crews. Of the 190 tanks lost at 3rd Ypres 90 were subsequently recovered over many months and sent to Erin. He states that? a number of these were refurbished in time to take part?at Cambrai (he does...
After circa 2 years of modelling abstinence, now I?m back! At that time I constructed in 1:72, then in 1:35, arrived now I in 1:6!? I?ll post by time some pics of my work done yet and some work in progressing... My first question I?ve posted already! And there will be even more!! (And, I hope, some answers...
There? are some wonderful images of this WWI gun on the site.? I have some information that this was used in WWII.? I am trying to build a model kit on the WWII version but can't find any information on what the differences would be between the WWI and WWII version.? The kit has an apparent different barre...
Gentleman?? Hello, I have run across some interesting information concerning a Tank design, dated 1916 by the famous Isotta Fraschini. It came from the following Russian book dated 1933. ?{Sorry it will not post the name of the book in Russian}Contemporary means of armor by K. Stepnogo. Would anyo...
