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...

There were 8 British tank Battalions at the Battle of Cambrai Nov 1917. They were given letters of the alphabet. A Battalion, B Battalion etc.. Was there a standard number of tanks issued to each battalion or did it vary? Obviously the amount of tanks that were combat ready differed because of losses a...
First to Fight are working on a 1/72 kit of what they are calling " Polish howitzer 100 mm wz.14 / 19 ". From what little I can find, this seems to be the Austro-Hungarian gun that Landships is calling "10cm Feldhaubitze M.14". I can see that the 14/19 version has a longer barrel, but are there any other maj...

First to fight have released a small scale kit of the "Soixante-Quinze", some reviewers feel it is too small for 1/72. However as far as I am aware, all of them compared the FtF kit to other kits nominally 1/72, and none of them to the real thing's dimensions. But that is what we need in order to find out whe...

I am quite new to the forum, mostly watching and (hopefully) learning, but a number of posts are confusing me a little, not the content, rather the form. However, a lot of threads have questions like "Do you have any more photos of this tank or now (sic) it's identity?" (for example) , who is the "you" re...

Male Mark IV tank loaded onto a flatbed railway wagon. Notice the earth mound ramp at the rear of the wagon and how the side sponsons have been pushed in. Do you have any more photos of this tank? Do you know its identity number? Where was the photo taken?

Do you have any more information or photos of the WW1 Mk V composites fitted with a long thin 45 mm gun in one of the sponsons used in the defence of Tallin 27-31 Aug 1941?. Were any tanks fitted with 45 mm guns in the Russian Civil War or was it only the tanks used in WW2?
