After months of patient daydreaming - whilst restarting my life back in Blighty - I'm now at the point where I want to start my first 1/35 armour project. I haven't built a thing in years, but used to be a dab hand with resin, scrap plastic, wire etc... back?in my Tamiya days. Several builds ideas have me i...
After almost a year without modelling (after the disaster with my 1:35 Whippet) I decided to start again, this time with a braille scale kit. Yesterday I received Modelkraks Fiat Armstrong Whithworth and thought you might be interested in a little review of this kit since no one is available on the ne...
This is from a small?section in one of the lesser-known old Profile publications, called The Experimentals. On the A7V: It was planned that the hinged-side square cupola be replaced by a round cupola because of the weight of the sides which were a burden to raise or lower. One vehicle was started but n...
Hi folks, I decided to build Modelkraks Fiat Armstrong Whithworth armored car. Unfortunately pictures especially of details are quite scarce, so I'd be happy for every new one! It would be also cool if somebody could point me at the approximate dimensions of this vehicle (the kit hasn't arrived yet...

It seems that the Emhar FPW Prussians are ready for issue in the not-too-distant. Pic below. Rumour has it that the Pegasus French WWI & Early WWII are being modified because of some inaccuracy. The prototypes looked OK to me, but P weren't happy, so further delay on these.

Hi guys! Newbie from Finland here. Been modeling for some 25 years now...finally moving to make some armor. I have always been fascinated by the early designs and decided this is the subject I'll be concentrating on. Also, considering that most of the stuff I usually build is 1/35, 1/20 or 28mm I think...

Anybody knows where to find a "several views" drawing ? I also don't know what colour to use. Any idea ? Thank you very muc...
I had thought that the enclosed photo showed a British motor cycle combination but looking at it again the gun appears to be a Russian Maxim - see the wheels and shield removed and strapped to the back of the motor bike. Anyone any ideas?
Hallo Artillery-Experts, got a question 'bout my new aquired BP Resin-Model, the 10cm FH m.14. This kit is pretty difficult and worked outv ery excellent. But what is this damper for, I have marked with the arrow? And what is under it, marked with the red rectangle? Is it a toolbox?
