The US built two different tractor caissons at the end of WW1 in response to criticism that the Holt artillery tractors could not carry any men or ammunition with the towed gun. In effect they produced US versions of the Schneider CD artillery tractor. The tractor caissons were based on the Holt 5-...
Hi! I am looking for pictures of the Mark IV roof. Most of the "walkaround" photos are taken from the gound, and I couldn't find proper photos of the roof section. I'm building a 1/16 scale model and the placement of the roof bolts and rivets is a part I don't have enough information on.
I know our friends in Ukraine have far more important things to worry about than the Mark Vs, but I stumbled across what appear to be photos of them in Kiev in1941, after the capture of the city. They're new to me. I've been wondering whether the tanks are still intact, and I was hoping to find the location...
Have now watched it a few times. It ticks all the usual boxes, for good or bad. The battle scenes are mostly gruesome, although the "human wave" attacks are, as often, rather overdone, and are similar to those in the original 1930 version and Paths of Glory, etc, with infantry out in the open, swarming a...
It looks as if the land where Mephisto came to grief has been built on. This is the spot in 2017: Just did a google map and saw this. Monument Farm on the left, new buildings on right. If you do a street view, this is now the view from the farmhouse, where the orchard was.
Hi there. I'm planning to build a Mark II Male tank based on the Takom's Mark I kit. This should be easy as all what needs to be done is the following: - remove the tail and hydraulics mechanism - use the Mark IV top with newer hatch (inside the kit) - use the Mark IV cabin with Vickers machine gun mounting (i...
This photo turned up on Quora yesterday - apparently taken at the T34 Museum near Moscow. Presumably it is not scale size! Does anyone have more information?
It may well be that these original Albert Kahn Autochrome photos have already been posted here. For me there are some unknown photos, so I thought I will post them nevertheless. And perhaps it sheds some new light on the camouflage question…An interesting aspect (for me) is the widespread use of blac...
http://beutepanzer.ru/ This Russian site that contains several photos of the Mark Vs in Berlin 1945 seems to be shut down. Don't know if it's a temporary glitch or something connected with the current geopolitical situation.
Hello
here we are with another nice kit
If it turns out half as good as I imagine it will be a hit
A bit of history:
When the First World War broke out, the Regia Marina had the task mainly in the Adriatic, to maintain maritime domination and to protect the coasts. Along the coasts, armed trains were e...

I have just updated the Lovett Artillery Collection web site. If the old main page comes up try deleting cookies or putting www.lovettartillery.com directly into the web browser and hitting refresh. Hopefully, the new site will be easier to navigate. If you prefer the old web site style, just hi...
Luis Eduardo Gonzalez has recently put out a surprisingly good book on Mexican Artillery from the 1860s until the WW1 Era. This is a series of books he has written in English language on this period of Mexican history. In my opinion, it is worth getting if you are interested in this period of US/Mexica...
I keep reading articles (including Landships) where it is quoted that E Bn tanks were numbered. From the photos I have, NOT all were numbered when they went into battle, but only had the tank's name on (except one, which has crossed flags painted on its front glacis.). References also give the tank's...
HI All, I've seen that DEN BELS has released a new 1/72 kit of the K-Wagen. I wonder how it compares with the Kora kit ? Are there pictures somewhere ? What do you want to do ?New mailCopy

I was interested to know if WWI armoured cars were painted white inside? I have seen photos/footage of the Rolls Royce online that show a white interior but these vehicles also served in WWII. I am particularly interested in the Ford Armoured cars of 1916.
How long were the Mk.I and Mk.II supply tanks used? Can I add the red and white stripes on my model or were they pensioned by the time the stripes started to be used?
Found the attached image in an Italian archive of WW1 images. The image was horrible but cleaned up pretty well. The caption said it's a 105mm gun. The truck looks (I think) like the SPA9000 trucks that had the 102mm guns mounted on them However, the mounting looks quite different - I've added an image...
