Today I made the journey over to Holborn to visit The Dolphin Tavern, which, on the night of 9th September 1917, was hit by a high explosive bomb dropped from KapitanLeutnant Mathy in Zeppelin L13. Three men were killed, one of them, Fireman Green, dying of burns while trying to put fires out in nearby h...
After discussing about the roof gratings at some lenght in this thread I think it's fair to show what's I've done on the basically good Emhar kit parts so far. The upper "turret" After carefully cleaning up each piece, I saw that they were made with quite precise measurements, and that each...
I am currently reading this book which is a Holmes / Watson story set during the late summer 1916 at the tank training ground at Elveden Hall near Thetford aerodrome. I can see that the "tank" aspects appear about correct but there are various aspects which I cannot seem to correlate with an...
I'm rather happy! Usually when I turn to a conversion or a scratchbuilt, a new offer comes before I complete my own. This time I finish this Whippet just before the new Takom! The kit itself claims for some improvements like Takom tracks, new tool boxes and some minor improvements : [IMG]https://i1...

Does anyone know of anyone who has photog...
The Keil Kraft B-Type Bus is driving me mad. I need some assistance. A scan of the whole model compared to the plans shows it to be generally to scale, except that?the passenger area is?too short. However, when I measure the individual?sections and scale them up, they work out about right. I can't figu...
Gentlemen, I was in doubt if this post would better go to the "Modelling" area or here... I'm contemplating starting the 1/72 Emhar kit of the A7V. On examining the parts, I see that the roof has large gratings that give to the bare interior a degree of visibility. Was this like that in the rea...
Apparently, TAKOM is continuing their Great War model theme. Next will be a 21cm Mörser, 10/16. This would suggest it can be built with the "lange" barrel and comes with "radgürtel". Again, it will be in the Oriental scale.

Hello Gentleman
I am in search of drawings, and pictures of the attached photos.
I believe them to be a Japanese Type 45 24cm Howitzer Model 1912, can some one confirm this? They were used in the Siege of TsingTao. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All the Best
