A few weeks ago I’d emailed Paul at the Model Cellar suggesting he think about bring out a British driver for the Roden 1/35 Holt tractor. Paul was already ahead of me and said they were designed by Mike Good and promised to send me one. I got the package two days ago and immediately put the castings togeth...
Hello everyone, this is my first post on this wonderful site (though not my first visit), this is my Saint Chammond M3 "CINCINNATUS" from Hobbyboss, I'm still trying to find out the chassis number (768?/ 786? / or 790 "...US":the last picture). Any help will be welcome. The model was painted with Tam...
I noticed that ICM has a lot of Model T kits besides ambulances, but evidently meant for Australians. But I should think that some right-hand drive ones would appear in Europe as well, certainly for British forces there?
One's memory really does start to wobble as one grows old. This concerns one thing that I might have forgotten and another that I definitely have. Let me explain. First: I stumbled across this picture of a British tank towing an A7V. It might be well-known, in which case I apologise. But the British tan...
A few lovingly restored vehicles were at Shuttleworth's Military Airshow yesterday. 1911 3 Tonne De Dion Bouton, the only known survivor of its breed & possibly the oldest heavy commercial in working order too. A 1916 Studebaker Light Four, & 1917 vintage, AEC Y-Type & Halford E1D1-8...
If I want to print off some smaller 1:72 (or 1:100) versions of various 1:44 , 1:48 and 1:50 card models , what percentage should I use for 1:72 or 1:100 ?
In case you have not noticed, Panzer Concepts is offering a 1/35th scale model of 'Bruno.' The model is based on the 3D computer models of Greg Heuer. In 2017 Greg and I co-authored a book about WWI railway guns for Osprey Publishing. Greg's computer models served as the basis for the book's art ill...
Here's a photo I found recently of one of the German 77mm Flak guns based on captured French 75mm M1897. Any idea what carriage they used for this conversion?
Just noticed this in the letters page in Tank Encyclopedia: "Are you aware of any Saint Chamond tanks in US Service in the Meuse-Argonne? I have a photo of one with the caption “US Tank near Dun-sur-Meuse”. There is a large “US” painted on the side." The correspondent says he has emailed the photo, but n...
Once again turning to the best artillery experts out there to resolve a dispute... West Point's museum has a 75mm Field Gun painted in a camouflage pattern that they claim is the one from C Battery, 6th FA that fired the first US rounds in WWI. On the internet, there are photos (from US Archives and from o...
Gentleman I am researching the different types of turrets used on the Rolls Royce armoured car specifically those used during WW1, i.e with turret extension etc. I am searching for any information specific name, photo's drawing etc... Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Tim R Photo's...
They even have models of WW2 German tanks that never made it off the drawing board. Yet you'd think they'd have more German items for WW1 too. Rather a surprise that nobody has come up with a kit for Mephisto, the one German WW1 tank that still exists.
are there any sources for those rare ones? (they were around the internet without further information) Russo Balt Izorski Mgebrov D armored car 1915 Ehrhardt Halbgepanzerter wagen 5cm flug...
Hello everyone! A few months ago I read one book, or rather a booklet, called "A Magyar királyi honvéd Haditechnikai Intézettől a HM Technológiai Hivatalig" by Hajdú Ferenc and Sárhidai Gyula. One of the authors - an officer of the Hungarian army several years ago. Despite the availability of bibli...

Zebrano from Belarus announced a Tsar Tank in 1/72 towards the end of 2018. Passed me by: I only discovered it yesterday. It's priced at €100+, though. Their first venture into WW1. Apparently they're only making 40 kits. Possibly all sold now.Their other products seem a bit variable, apparentl...

It's a light green (I assume) color used on British tanks, as it was mentioned as a color in my Takom Whippet kit. It actually looks akin to the lighter green used on post-WW2 American vehicles, or am I mistaken?

In the last few months I got my French 75mm mle/97 back from temporary loan to the MacArthur Memorial. While the gun was on loan for the WW1 Centennial, I acquired a French manufactured 75mm mle/97 Limber dated 1917. The limber has the original horizon blue paint on the interior of the ammunition box...
