Does anyone have the horsepower, wheelbase and tire size for the Belgian S.A.V.A. armoured car? I know they were produced using the chassis of a 1913-14 limo, but there are seven models listed for 1914. (My guess is that it would be the long chassis rather than the short chassis, which reduces it to t...

Question - The Mark V Male tanks 0.303in (7.62mm) Lewis air cooled guns were replaced with the 0.303in (7.62mm) Hotchkiss air-cooled machine guns. Where these the same machine guns fitted to the Mark I and Mark II tanks?
This is a reference seeking question. Does anyone know why the White Russian Armies had different national color stripes on horns of their Mk V tanks ?The Northwest White Army had the vertical Red-Blue-White stripes (going from left to right),The Southern White Army had the White-Blue-Red strip...
The Landship site says the Mark II was armed with Lewis guns instead of the Vickers The female tanks had their Vickers machine-guns replaced with the smaller Lewis machine-gun; a sleeve was used to fit the new guns into the old, larger, apertures.http://www.landships.info/landships/tank_arti...
I read in my book, "French Tanks Of World War One", that the failed Nivelle offensive caused a mutiny among French troops, and General Petain temporarily called off any major offensives and concentrated in getting the tanks and infantry to work together. Tanks were still a primitive novelty, so I w...
Hi can some one tell me what the colors of the markings are on the front horn of this Mk V* are ? it looks like Blue-White-red.. the blue is faint but describable.. If that is the case.. who had this tank / Unit ? etc.. any info on it ?
In the last few days, I have gotten a French 75mm mle/97 Limber. This is the French designed and manufactured one not the US M1918 Limber for the French 75mm. It appears to be the only one in the USA now. This example is painted French horizon blue with what appears to be French WW1 Era camouflage paint...
Hello All Attached pictures of the anti bomb roof I am creating for a female tank. I used the original frame from Takom's kit but shortened it. And then added the rear and sponsons extensions ( Scratchbuild ) The model is still in progress. Cheers Olivier
I have the German 7,7cm lFK 1896 n/A Limber assembled. I still have riveting to go and a new back hatch will have to be fabricated but at this stage you can see what it will look like. The 7,7cm and 10,5cm limber differ in size, box interior layout and in details of the foot board mounts/trace chain mount...
Hi all, This is my first venture into WWI modelling. I'm starting on the Meng Mk V Female, so I'm gathering info. (Went through old posts) Any comments on this kit and the color it has? Noticed there's debate on wether Mk V's should be brown or green. I red that the way the chains hold the crib might not be...
I was watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ0QpbTZDq0 about parades in russia and they had the MK V hermaphrodite tanks on parade. But the tanks had the canon / mg sponsons on either side. some had the canon on the starboard side, others had it on the port side. The same for the MG s...
