Landships II

On my last project I started converting a Takom Mk I into a Mk II. I will reproduce a Female tank (most probably the well known THE PERFECT LADY). Decals will come from set #35008 of ddecal.ru.com owened by Alpha Six As well discussed in another thread Takom Mk I is a good start kit but its drive cab is too na...

Image reference CC-BY-SA-4.0 https://lib.ugent.be/catalog/rug01%3A001831593 There's no other information or date with it but I couldn't help but notice the unusual camouflage over the sides. I can't see any Id numbers but was hoping perhaps she could be identified by the damage or camo. I...

Staff at Bovington are looking for photos of War Bond tank Egbert Mark IV Male 141 surrounded by people both male and female. Do you have any? Also, can you clear up a problem? On this page, it shows a tank number 142 not 141 at Eastbourne called Egbert??? http://hovehistory.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/...

I recently got the book by ILL "Military transport of WW I" by Chris Ellis besides WW I transport it deals with pre WW I and post WW I vehicles. it has color profiles and some FWD conversion pictures. It dates from 1971 is still usefull.

Would anyone know what the colour of a 75mm Turkish field gun used in WW1 at the battle of Beershebah 1917 would have been.. our R.S.L. is wanting to restore one and would seriously like it to be as authentic a restoration as possible. I have attached a photo of this gun taken after it was restored from a...

Several Mark IV tanks (4616, 4624, 4629, 4630, 4633, 4634, 4636, 4639, 4642, 4646) were sent to America 5th November 1918 from Newbury to serve as training vehicles of the US Army Tank Corps. 4633 is under restoration at Fort Benning. Do you have photos of any of the others (not 4633)? This screen captu...

Just stumbled upon this. I don't know why I had overseen it. It's accessible to everyone in the Bundesarchiv Berlin. So, overall we have 17 pictures of that beast![URL=http://s240.photobucket.com/user/Peter_T1958/media/A7V%20Hedi/athene-6seduvd32xk6qe4rjlm_layout_zpsdxql52kt.j...

I am ready to paint my Takom Mk I in the colors of Clan Leslie and noticed their paint scheme seems to be the Bovington museum display model, which doesn't match the period pictures. So, any guess as to what colors it actually is? Would the colors be similar to the Solomon scheme found in Takom's Female...

What color was US Army artillery, wagons, and mechanized equipment in the colonial, just before WWI era? I have heard it was gloss dark gray, with black trim. Is that correct? One of the items I am looking to paint is a collection of US Army or civilian tanks made just before the US Army was sending signif...

As I haven't seen it noticed here before, I thought I could post it just as well: Strelets have some new 1/72 figure sets in the works. Their much-improved sculpting style looks very promising. They released a "Lawrence of Arabia" horse rider set, with Arabs on foot to follow, as will be a set of Ottoman...

Please can you identify this A7V.

Please pardon the lurid title, but it took me decades to find out what Airfix were thinking when providing their 1/72 Doughboys with a Chauchat machine gun on a very long bipod. It has been suggested to post the gun behind a wall or into a trench. And indeed, that seems to be where the sculptor found his in...

Does anyone have any information on the markings that the 301st carried??? from pictures I have seen I cannot make any out, I know the numbers from the Battle graph, I just need some Battalion markings. John -- Edited by chopsm1 on Friday 7th of April 2017 03:38:05 AM

What is known about this "prototype" armored car produced for the AEF but rejected? Fred Crismon in US Military Wheeled Vehicles says it was requested by the AEF's Service of Supply but Pershing rejected it. Crismon also states that it was made on a light White truck chassis and carried the number "U...

Just noticed a line in Schneider & Strasheim's Schiffer book, page 8: "the term 'Sturmpanzerwagen' was applied to it only on September 22, 1918." Can anyone expand on that? What name was applied before?

Do you have more information or photos of the Imperial War Museum's A7V 'Shnuck'? This is the photo of it being scrapped in 1920

I have just noticed that 721 C5 Crème De Menthe tank's name is painted on a bar at the rear of the tank that is park of the hydraulic system. Do you have photos of other Mk.1 tanks with their names painted at this location?

Can you identify this A7V captured at Bapume? The IWM caption is not very helpful.

the left side of observation window has gone what happened? and what's the identification number of this A7V? -- Edited by TankLibrary on Friday 1st of January 2016 02:34:37 PM

i never heard about the name of "Hummel" for A7V it is kind of prototype or mockup? and i think that the two picture of tanks are same but not sure anyone know more about this?

I recently finished the 1/72 FlyHawk Renault FT with riveted turret. This is an amazingly detailed kit. The only modification is to replace the provided photo etch handles for the front hatch - with ones I made from beading wire. I painted this one as used by Americans. Soon, I will paint the...

After reading about how female Mark tanks were obsolescent by 1918, I wondered what good the machine gun-armed Whippet must have been by the time it was used. It was even used postwar.

Hi Does anyone here have access to, or is intending to visit, any of the Mark Vs in Kubinka, Lugansk, Archangelsk or Kharkov please? If so, please contact me. Thanks Gwyn

Does anyone know anything about this gent? The only photo I can find is a tiny and indistinct long shot of him with Vollmer at the A7V trials, from Schneider & Strasheim's Schiffer book. It seems he formed the A7V Committee from some not very enthusiastic motor designers, but I can't find anything...

Do you know who runs the Google Landships website? I use it a lot but I have found additional information that is missing from it.

In the last few days the Lovett Artillery Collection French 75mm mle/87 was given on a temporary loan to the MacArthur Memorial Museum in Norfolk, VA to mark the WW1 Centennial. The 151st Field Artillery was equipped with 75mm guns of this type and served under BG Douglas MacArthur in WW1 while he wa...
