The Polish company First to Fight have released their set 033, including two kits of this gun without crew. I take it IBG are involved in their kits. You can see an unboxing video here. A review in English with photos is to be found here. This looks really good to me. The number of spokes is correct for a Fre...
We have now ready for sale correction sets for Takom kits of Mark I Male and Female tanks as well as two stowage sets with typical British boxes, cartes and cans. The Mark I cab superstructure has been reworked and features now the correct arrangements of bolts and rivets.For more information look he...

Hello! I need an identification of the towed gun on the photo. Is a cylinder on the left of the barrel symply а case for swab or some kind of the antirecoil system?
Greg's French 75 mm French Artillery Model1. Preparing for the build, design process, first parts Introduction:In early April, I joined Landships, announcing my plan to scratch build a scale model of the French 75 mm Canon de 1897. I selected this because of my grandfather's participation in a hi...
Obviously tanks have to be moved to the front and the most usual way of long distance movement is by rail for a variety of reasons.During some research I have had constant mention of rail gauge being the limiting factor for a tank design and that the British Army in WW2 (certainly early on) were not happy...
Quick shot of the WD Models GS Wagon - just needs the rear door fixing (once I find it that is) and painting and it's done, have decided to leave the horses off and have it being loaded/unloaded. Nice straightforward model that builds similar to the real thing, having climbed over a 1915 example ? [IMG]h...
Found these bolt holes on the Brussels Mk. IV. Initially thought that they might have been for the additional rail put on the top towers, but they are too far back - any ideas? Tony
I have a Hotchkiss portative in 303 British. In all the research I have done on the weapon I have never seen what the mount looked like that used in a tank. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
So with the supply tank finished, the Mk.IV Male close to finished, the Mk.IV female progressing nicely and the A7V done it's time to start something else. Contrary to my post on RCD's thread about the warped track frames on Emhar's Tadpole, so long as they're held square while the whole assembly drie...
Excellent news - hopefully a 1914 version will follow before too long, but i'll definitely be getting a copy of this... http://www.roden.eu/HTML/731.htm

Got mine this morning, after a long wait, started converting them right away to 1918, fairly easy as they have an equipment set included, I will post photos when they are more complete. So far, so good.
This gun is at Glencorse Barracks, Penicuik outside Edinburgh. I think its nickname is 'The Archangel Gun'. I have not seen it myself but aim to soon. Looks like a 13cm Kanone. Any other ID?
HI, Just thought I would say hello, like quite a few modellers I am starting to build some of the 1:35 ww1 kits now available, beginning with the TAKOM mkiv male - AAAARRRGGHH! what a pain!! caused mainly by the CAD instruction's not showing how parts appear when fitted-perhaps they (TAKOM) should l...
A mention was made in another thread about MK1 tanks and track grousers, rather than add to that thread I thought I would post this here. Now strictly speaking Grousers were not used until the MKIIs and if anyone had told me they were fitted to the MK1 tanks, I would have disagreed with them. Only thing is...
Can anyone help with some info please :) There are a couple of photos of tank 261 on the web (copies attached) which show the general design of the tower mounted on the tank, but I can't find any detail on the top where I assume the airship or it's mooring line would be attached to. Can anyone help on this? In...
Building and really enjoying Takom's Mk I female, which in my opinion is an excellent kit, i've noticed an oddity regarding the MG armour covers and I haven't been successful in finding any pics or info so I try this great forum. For some reason Takom have moulded the MG covers hollow on the underside wi...
Hi, I currently have a 1:72 scale model of the Hindenburg, I found reference to a model of this size in an ancient post on this forum.
If still active does anyone have any ideas where I may find people interested in buying it. Currently listed on eBay but being a very niche item I'm trying to list it where e...
While building Takom's mk 1 female I noticed that the armour covers for the mg's for some reason are hollowed on the underside. Unable to find any pics showing that part I was hoping anyone here have any info about that part. Should it be hollow like it is moulded and therefor needing to add the lower part...
