There is considerable evidence that Major Gregg was actually Major John Ronald Greg. Glanfield lists him as Greg, but I've double-checked. Sources include London Gazette and the 1918 New Year's Honours List.
Another Wayne McCullough design - a Mark IX in a hypothetical "Plan 1919" form. Fairly straightforward to build. I have another Mark IX beta to do so I thought building the base model would be a good idea. Regards, Charlie
I'm trying to determine what actual shade it is- there are more than 50 shades of gray! I'm trying to start my Schneider kit, and presumably suspensions will be gray while camouflage will be placed on the upper areas (I assume that from pictures I saw). Also, is this a standard gray color for any machi...

Citizens! Courtesy of Michel, a.k.a. Tanker, I am able to tell you that there are plans for either the Schneider or the Saint-Chamond to be at Bovington on June 24th, which I assume is Tankfest.
http://www.landships.info/landships/tank_articles.html#Trevor Pidgeon has noted that a well-known photograph of a Mk.I, usually captioned as going into action at Flers- Courcellette, must have been actually taken at Elveden.6 If this i...

Hello WW1 tank fans! I have a question regarding Mark IV Female tank (early version). I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm currently bulling the Flirt II tank, here's an image of it (Takom kit):As you can see it's almost read...

He was most pleasant and helpful over the Mk IIs at Arras, and corrected the captions.He's Geoff Spender, Assistant Curator, email:gspender at iwm.org.ukI've got a bit of a backlog that I must send to him when I get t...
Just breathing a bit of life into this section. Ditched A7V. I suspect a rhomboid would have little difficulty in negotiating this obstacle? Hedi. Leipzig at a guess? A7V manufacture.
How common are the rectangular markings on British vehicles and when did the first get used? I understand them to be to provide false points of aim for the enemy to try and prevent them firing at the actual view slits. Are these markings examples of those or just something else/random? I ringed the four...
I've rewritten the article to take account of recent developments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Wheel_Tank All thoughts welcomed. Much of this seems to be the handiwork of a Hungarian gent, who has lifted the photo from Landships. The incorrect article can be found on Hungarian and Po...
"The new-fangled "land-ship" was nicknamed "Creme de Menthe" and its commander Arthur Inglis, of the Gloucestershire Regiment, helped change the course of military history. He was the first man to lead tanks into battle and his heroic efforts during the Battle of the...
Thought you may like to see some of the new things in the works.Nice though the Emhar Whippet is I've always had an issue with tracks... they just don't look realistic to me.There should be a space between the track and the outer rail, you could just run a scriber around the inside of the track to simulate...
Unfortunately, the Wikipedia article on the American Steam Wheel Tank contains the following mistake: It was also known as the Holt Steam Tank and the Holt 150-ton Field Monitor (a false name intended to hide its design features from Germany). I removed this a while back, but someone has reinstat...
