Just a thought from looking at the current range of kits available - Takom sell workable tracks for the Mk IV 'Tadpole' Tank. Would they, in theory, fit the Emhar Whippet, with the correct number of links removed?
Having read so many negative reports about the above I bought it mainly for the figures - pity I managed to lose one of them immediately! The instructions I will say no more about except the article on Landships II proved invaluable.

Hi all! In this picture you can see polish general during an inspection at the Lviv area in January 1919. Can you tell me what is the brand of thisrailroad inspection car?
The alleged source of the replica A7V shown below. Have found a synopsis: Victory was written by Boyd Cable, a specialist in military melodramas, and directed by M. A. Wetherell, who had previously directed the WWI docudrama The Somme. As the Germans advance into France in 1918, thousands of refuge...
This is quite a rare piece, according to Filippo Castellano only two remains, both in Torino, one is Museo dell'Artiglieria (closed since decades) and the other inside the Museo del Risorgimento, who reopened just 3 years ago.
Would anyone have any dimensional data on the Hotchkiss Mk. 1 machine gun as used in the Whippet? One of the aftermarket firms is planning to do a turned brass barrel and wants to make it as accurate as possible. I have a cross sectional drawing of the US manufactured version, but dimensional data is a bi...
It's not surprising that tank crew of WW1 (or any period really) are seen wearing as little additional equipment as possible - in the case of British WW1 Tank crew little more than a belt with a pistol and ammunition pouch, as well as anti-gas protection. I'd have thought the men must have taken their h...
I live in Australia (so the UK is a looong way away) and I've tried sending them a FAX with my e-mail address and contact details, but have so far heard nothing from them. I need some of their items to complete one or two projects... I'm getting desperate. I'm ready to order as soon as I know they have the ite...
As well as I believe it being proven quite easily that this Mk IV is not 'Britannia', the rest of the description is quite a mean feat for a Mk IV seeming as they weren't used at Arras: "Mark IV Female Liberty: stored at Anniston Army Depot, Anniston, Alabama. Originally named Britannia, this t...
Just back from the annual Saumur exhibition where I bought some kits as usual, I turn to a long range projet depicting the military narrow gauge railway. As far I know, two companies offer materials : Blitz models (Péchot and Decauville) and U models (Péchot). My first one will be 3 boxes from Blitz : [I...
What appears to be very much like a Renault FU tank carrier has survived unrecognised in France - see here (under 6 August 2008): http://www.prewarcar.com/ Phil, I hope you didn't mind me sending a link to your site.
Hello all!After some time just reading and lurking, with only a few posts, I`ve gathered strength to contribute something original to our forum.My choice is the Trubia Tank series, and I intend to build in paper the first prototype (1926) at 1/72.[URL=http://s1235.photobucket.com/user/AgaPa...
I managed to obtain a couple of the above a couple of months ago from e models but they no long have any of the MkIIs - one was converted into a supply tank (now that would be way for Masterbox to produce another MKI/II model!). Looking at Hannants and several other UK sites it is still quoted as future rel...
Progress on the bus kit.We have now decided to bring out 2 kits,one for the civilian version and the other for the W^D type. Progress is coming along nicely.I have enclosed some pic's of where we are at the moment. I look forward in getting your comments.
I thought I'd enclose a summary of what I've found to date on the tanks touring the US. I've tried not to draw too many conclusions yet. As you will see there are still things to be clarified/uncovered. I've keyed the photos to the text. Any extra info welcome. ?Forest Park St Louis Mis...
