It's clear that different police departments, and even different officers within the same city, could face a range of dangerous situations. These call for specialty police (Shadowhawk X800) Flashlights. Almost every officer would be able to utilize a flashlight that can cut through smoke and of...
I'm assuming white walls and ceiling, but what about the floor, seats, etc.? The illustration on the cover of the Osprey book shows a grey floor and a yellow gun. I thought it was colored that way for contrast in the picture, but I'm uncertain how accurate the painting directions are on the Meng kit in...
Greetings, Attached are a few photos of members of the 8th Company, 2nd Air Service Mechanics Regiment posed on FT-17s.

I recently build Kora Lebedenko tank. Resin casting is terrible. I have to completely replace all the girders, weapons and back "deckhouse". It took me 1.5 months to complete. -- Edited by ZigZag on Tuesday 28th of June 2016 06:32:44 AM-- Edited by ZigZag on Tuesday 28th of June 2016 11:48:45 AM

Good day to you all! I just finished my Mark V tadpole. I did it by adding the tadpole tails of the Mark IV Tadpole tot the mark V (both Takom). My inspiration was the picture of 9277. A mark V female with her tails on.  Before I can think of painting a question rises:  There is obvious a colour difference be...
I have a couple old Emhar Mark IV tanks here I would like to build but they are going to need a lot of upgrading. Does anyone know if Mr. Modellbau's aftermarket cap made for the Tokam kit will fit the 1/35 Emhar? Thank you.
Hello all It seems that Meng models have issued some crew for the Renault char d assaut ( Or late Saint Chamond and Schneiders ) The mask was not issued to the French before mid 1918 I cannot see the details of the cut out helmet , anyway they were hand made at that time. http://pages14-18.mesdiscussion...

As the website http://www.museeaustralien.com/en/?Events explains, the museum is undergoing renovation and the exhibits have been moved to what I suspect are much reduced premises. It should be finished by the end of the year - which means it will have missed the centenary. There might be a very g...

I have mentioned this gun in a few earlier post but today I have added recent photos of the German 7,5cm Kanone 1881 (or possibly 1880) export gun to its own web page on my Lovett Artillery web site. The breech block has been removed and is being restored. The blockage that was welded into the back of the...

I feel as if this is a well-known photo and I ought to recognise this vehicle. The IWM describes it as "British tank crossing a trench whilst on its way to take part in the Battle of Cambrai, November 1917." You'll notice the first pattern female sponson adapted to take Lewis guns, and grousers fitted. C...
Dear all, Â during the visit of a model show last weekend I saw an artillery piece that looks to me like from the First World War, but I can't identify it as I don't know much about this category.
