Hello, I just came across this fascinating resource and thought I'd pass it on to those who aren't yet aware of it.? "Field Artillery Magazine" is available online here.? They have back issues all of the way back to 1911 that are fully searchable online.? Many articles are illustrated wit...
Comrades,
Posted here are photos from my modest aproximation to a WW1 DAIMLER FLAK/BAK TRUCK. Thanks to our great chap LAFETTENHEINI, I could build my modest model.
I greatly appreciate his kind assistance.

Tim Rigsby mentioned the great collection of truck photos on http://www.chrishodgetrucks.com/There you can find a fantastic photo of a D?rkopp Artillerie Zugwagen. The same vehicle can be seen in the...
Perhaps the final piece of the jigsaw. In an earlier thread, I quoted A.J. Smithers as saying two slightly conflicting things about the choice of the Madsen for the Mk I. ? First he said that it was?tested alongside the Hotchkiss, etc., at the trials of Mother in December 1915, but later, when writing a...
Hadn't heard of this magazine before. The December 2007 issue front cover carries what looks like a colour pic of a St. Chamond 1st Pattern. Anyone know if this is gen (perhaps one of Albert Kahn's), a reenactment, or just a hand-coloured black-and-white?
I really enjoyed the great photo gallery posted by Phil in another thread on this topic.? I wondered if?anyone knows the serial numbers of the Mark I tanks sent to Gaza? Dave
Gentleman?? Does any body recognize what this vehicle is, of course I no most of you have seen this photo before, but I am not sure it is labeled correctly. (Ehrhardt)?It is from Chris Reeds great collection of truck photos.?But my question is, what type of vehicle is this, and for what purpose was it bu...
It's a long time since we had all that activity about Bulgaria. This site gives details of artillery in Bulgarian service at the outbreak, with plenty of pics including some Turkish. There are a few types I've not come across before -?the Schneider-Canet, for example. The site is in English. http://...
Gentlemen, a very notable subject associated with a little question.Recently I bought a DVD with a very old (1930) but good German movie called Westfront 1918, made by a director called G.W. Pabst. Its a very impressing film, trapped by a poor sound-quality but so much better is the equipment. The fi...
The AWM have uploaded some more photos (photo nos. are P03613.004, P03613.005, P03613.006, P03613.007, P03613.008, and P03613.009) including some of the Mk I and IV tanks at Gaza undergoing maintenance. There is a photo (No. P03613.006) which appears to show "Pincher" or "Otaz...
Could anyone refer me to drawings and interior details of the two RNAS Rolls Royce armoured cars developed by Cdr Samson for use in Belgem in 1914?? Can't afford the Britains' one and think it would be fun to try and make my own! Thanks in advance . . . Al

It has been suggested to me that the reason the German artillery?regiments had a ball instead of a spike on their helmets was so that they wouldn't poke each other's eyes out when bending?and rising to serve the gun. Seriously. Am I being taken for a ride here? That doesn't explain the Bavarian artille...
Greetings, All! Just found the site, and I'm hoping it might get me a kit I've been seeking for ages. I know it'll be pricey, but if you have one you'ld be willing to part with, I'd really like to hear from you! Regards, Rob robowens@austin.rr.com

Having a struggle trying to identify this motorcycle used in the filming of 'The Blue Max' - i've ruled out Triumph model H, Clyno, Douglas and Phelon & Moore, i'm currently thinking BSA or Enfield? BSA's seemed to have a thick black ring several inches away from the tire inbetween the spokes thou...

A while ago someone posted some helpful looking photos of how to get a good fit on an?Emhar MkIV?hull parts, but I can't find where they are... Does anyone have a link to the page they can post? I've just received my MkIV Male [1st ever Great War kit for me!] and I'd like to get the main?assembly 'just so' be...
Hi all, i'm on the lookout for?a model zeppelin - i've seen a very large kit (about 1/144 scale) but seeming as it's bigger than my student room, and very expensive, that's out of the question unfortunately. So i'm looking for something at about 1/1200 scale - i've seen that Navwar do a 1/3000 version wh...
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew if Whippet tanks were used in support of the 21st Division at all during WWI? Here's some of the battles that the 21st were involved in if it's any help The Battle of St Quentin (first phase of the First Battles of the Somme 1918) The First Battle of Bapaume (second pha...
