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.

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.

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...

Throughout the history of warfare, when a country commits itself to full scale combat, companies you would never figure as military suppliers, start pumping out stuff for the war effort. This can be dramatically seen in WWII, with car companies making Armored Cars, and every possible company that...

Off to Vaux-en-Amiénois again shortly, where further discussions about Mephisto will take place. I hope we'll be able to work out which photos were taken at Vaux and which at Poulainville. As far as I can tell, there are eight photos to identify. Anybody know if there are any more?
Hi! I eventually completed a MS1 mod 27 from Hobby Boss. A very good kit except awful road wheels that should be improved to look like the real thing... The model finished :
Every photograph of Whippets being driven depicts the rear fighting compartment door open and at least one man standing outside of it. You'd think that sooner or later they would have such figures to go with the Whippet models. They finally have driver figures for WW1 automobiles and trucks.
