Hello, I've come across several references to there being two Rolls Royce-based armoured cars on the freighter Thistlegorm which was sunk on October 6th 1941 off the Sinai coast by a German bomber flying out of Crete.? The ship and its cargo are still there and are a well-known dive site.? There are un...

The Major Models are also branded as CK Models and are also sold directly by Vyacheslav Ryzhenkov from Penza, R...
Gentleman? While going through a site, MarkV provided us, (By the way MarkV thanks for the sites). I came across some fanciful drawings of French Armoured Vehicles from 1908. I thought they might interest those of you into rather strange improvised, and dreamed up vehicles. By the way, how about tha...

I recall that Vilkata was particularly interested in Walter Christie's various designs, including his Flying Tank. He (and anyone else interested!) will, I am sure, like to know that the whole of an article on the Flying Tank from a July 1932 Modern Mechanics can be viewed here: [url]http://blog.m...
Howdy, Here's a collection of online photos site links.? Many individual sites mentioned have already been posted here, but there are a number of new ones as well. PhotoGraphicLibraries Most of the sites are free.? Some require sign-up.? I havn't gone through them all by any means, but the followin...
Does anyone know of a kit to convert an Emhar MK IV female to male in 1:35 scale? Or if you have any spare male sponsons and guns from say a Hermaphrodite kit, let me know. I've found a kit in 1:72 scale but not 1:35.
Does anyone know if there is a kit to convert an Emhar MK IV female to male? Or if anyone has some extra male sponsons and guns 1:35 scale? -- Edited by Leonardcastro at 00:27, 2007-07-17
I stumbled on an estonian site with lots of pictures, some of them I think have been posted before (the Mk.V's) but the armored car and the ft-17 photos I believe are new
Glad to have found this forum, have a question hopefully somebody can help me with. A recent visit to the Patton Museum has inspired me to build a Mk.V* in 1/35th. My problem is from my research the only Mk.V* kit I know of is the Panzershop Emhar Mk. V conversion, but the kit appears to be out of production...
I stumbled across a fantastic site that had illustrations of all the Belgian officers' kepis with their rank insigna. Like an idiot I?didn't bother?to bookmark it, thinking I'd remember how I got to it. Now I can't find it to save my life. Been looking for hours. Does it ring a bell with anyone?
I understand that Bovington doesn't have works drawings ("blueprints")?for the male sponsons for either the Mark I/II or the Mark IV/V/V*. Does anyone have a set of good scale drawings for either or both versions?
I find that when I go to the Forum title page, the list of topics isn't up-to-date. For instance, there's been a lot on the Mack truck lately but it doesn't appear as a recent post on this page. If I go to a thread and then select Recent Posts?a completely different list comes up. Is it me?
Reading "A Company of Tanks", I found a reference to "swinging" the tank to adjust it's compass. Would I be right in assuming that this is the same or similar to the way boats adjust their compasses?
I downloaded the plans of the Christie M1919 tank,and I'll scratchbuild it;can someone help me with the paint scheme and/or markings?in wich army it served?. Regards.
Just wondered if anyone here had built the RPM 1/72 Mack Bulldog HC3 early? It appears to be a British variant, judging by the driver and the gun and limber being towed, does the kit include British decals, or need any?

On quite a few surviving heavy tanks, the internal WD numbers, found above the secondary gear position on Mk IV and earlier or above the forward ammunition storage on Mk V's (and possibly V*'s), are missing. I imagine a few were souvenired by the Germans when they captured tanks but I wonder also if?re...
Hallo Peter, I`m preparing a long article about MG?s -including pictures. Is it possible to do with ADOBE/PdF or are there other rules whe all shall know. Couldn`t get any concrete information on board.
Dear Friends, Contributors and Webmasters; I thank you all for you did a wonderful job to present the equipment of the great war to the public. However, I'm a little disappointed for not seeing a section on the Ottoman artillery. I hope you shall add a section about the third (altough somewhat weak) gr...

Hello Everyone

The breech is of a so-called spherical wedge type (Rundkeilverschluss in German). The wedge that closes the breech is ac...
