Here's a photo and a short article on the Hinckley, Leicestershire presentation tank - anyone know anything about its history? Supposedly it served in France, but as most of you already know, they said that about all the tanks and they were mostly training ones! [IMG]https://i282.photobucket.co...
At Flesquieres an appreciable number of MIVs were knocked out by field guns.? One FK96 n/A, manned by a lone surviving company grade officer, who singlehandedly managed to load, lay, and fire long enough to KO some 17?tanks until he himself was killed.?? One would think such heroism would have cause...
Hello fellows, Here the first pictures of a long day in the museum of war-technic ( Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung ) at Koblenz. A paradise for fans of every sort of artillery you can imagine. I ?was so astonished of the count of pieces that i took only pictures from the interesting one's in my opinion...
Flettner 's tank ???????? I found a curious mention that before designing choppers Anton Flettner had designed a ship (that I knew) and a tank ...in 1913 in Berlin. Can someone shed some light on this one ? I have various books on WW1 German tanks and I have never seen the name Flettner quoted in them... (...
Hmmm, now the 'painting' season is upon us I've decided to resurrect the modelling project, and any begininng to doubt a couple of supply tank features which may or may not be specific to 'Dodo' - i/ Whether the sponsons had a vision slit above the blanked off machine gun flap. ii/ Whether the driver's c...
I originally brought this up at a different forum, but after recieving no replies, I thought I'd bring it here aswell.

Hello ! Well I could not locate any specific area for introductions so maybe I should begin here : I am a French modeller with a major interest in the transitionnal periods when technology came out of dreamers books to go into engineers sheds. In the case of WW1 that would cover : AFVs, Submarines, Helic...
I picked up the enclosed reference
"Mohave Museum of History and ArtsGlenn also remembered that toward the end of WWI there was a Liberty Bond drive, and the army brought in a one man tank with a 30 caliber machine gun. Andy climbed on the back and rode all over town (Kingman) much to the amuse...
I just acquired a postcard showing two wooden A7V in a field somewhere. They look like full size models. Are they early prototypes designed to show the size of the final machine? Are they wooden mock up designed to mislead enemy intelligence? Any idea? [img]http://4600n200e.com/mediac/400_0/me...
Recently I have gotten the US manual Handbook of Artillery, Including Mobile, Antiaircraft, Motor Carriage, and Trench Materiel (July 1921).? Within this manual there is a very interesting section on the US 75mm Model of 1916.? The US 75mm 1916 did not go into service in Europe in WW1.? Instead we ch...
Hello everyone, I`m a young modeller from Romania and i`m? very intrested in the FT-17. I would like to do a article in a modelling magazine ( an online one)? and i`m interested in variations and copies of the FT 17.

I found that photograph of a armored truck at the Bundesarchiv. Does anybody know more about this vehicle? It was used during the Kapp-Putsch in 1920. ?
With thanks to Pete, Kristof and several others, I was lucky enough to get a rather different view of Zonnebeke at the weekend - from the front seat of a Stampe SV.4 biplane. The Stampe SV.4 is a 1930's design, but most were built in the late 1940's. Although not a WW1 aircraft, it does however have a stron...
Here's the first part of my photos from a brilliant weekend, going to be a very large thread i'm afraid as took over 300 photos [img]http://img236.imageshac...

Test shots are on the website. ? http://www.hat.com/Curr2/Bx8199JA/Bx8199JA.html http://www.hat.com/Curr2/Bx8200GI/Bx8200GI.html One or two of the poses are a bit gawky but they look OK. They've come up on the rails while we're still waiting for the 75, limber, etc.
Strelets have put a pic of the Infantry in Summer Uniform on the site. Unfortunately, they don't look as if they're to the highest standard. I think some are wearing the Adrian, but it's not a very good job. And there's what looks like a Lewis, which I'm not sure about although I stand to be corrected. Hav...
Gentleman?? Hello, I am in need of a very good drawing of the St. Chamond. The drawings I have do not have good detail, especially the track system. Any scale is fine, but 1/35 is preferred. I would greatly appreciate any help. All the Best Tim R-- Edited by Tim R at 17:37, 2008-06-03
Don't know if any of you chaps can help me out on this one, but i've seen on one website (which I now can't find, bit of a pain as if they were worn I want them!) brass MT shoulder titles for sale, which stands for either Mechanical or Motor Transport. Would these have been worn by those in the ASC associated w...

Hi! I'm trying to built a Fiat Izorski used by the Finns in the twenties, but I just notice there were at las to main models : One with simple circular turrets and another one with smaller truncated ones. Other differences could be noticed (rear suspension, side hull cutting, hatches etc. Does anybody...

I bought the Verlinden kits in resin. - Please don't yell - The plan is to use this models to field them in games of Warhammer 40'000, to represent equivalent artillery models. What I would like to to, is to have 3 complete artillery sit...
