Hello, I am wondering where I can find information about the Whippet's suspension. I tried to find out how the rollers, drive- and idler wheels look like, but wasn't able to find a comprehensive source. From the very few photos I could find of destroyed Whippets, I had the impression that the idler- a...

As long as I was digging through my photos for the oldest APG St. Chamond photo I could find, I thought I'd try to do the same for the Schneider CA. This photo is from the Jarrett collection at MHI at Carlisle Barracks, and my guess is that it dates from the late 1940s or early 1950s. The tank still has some de...
Hello everyone, recently looking through AWM website and found these two pics of Mark V with Australian troops. There's 9192 "NEWRY" and another male called "ORPHEUS". Their numbers from the collection are P09378.003 and P09114.026. Hope they are of interest -- Edited b...

I notice that the festive season has almost reached its end without the customary exchange of greetings on the Forum. I don't know if this is caused by apathy or by a decline in the goodwill quotient amongst contributors. Perhaps the numerous inaccurate accounts of the 1914 Christmas Truce that were...
Hallo. Finaly I got here Thanks a lot for the add. I'm of course a plastic modeller and love history and WW1 . I have been doing WW1 models a long time, but have not been going so deep into it regarding details. So I guess its time to do so. And I guess its loads of new stuff here for me to read. Here a Emhar k...
Hello to all. I am newcomer on this forum whichever I am following it since a long time. I am from France ( South west ) and my interest regarding WW1 AFV's started with the MK IV and the battle of Cambrai. I am modelling WW1 tanks ( 1/35) I am very pleased to join you regarding sharing informations. Olivie...
Can it be possible to calculate full scale 1.1 measurements from a 1/16th scale model ie the Takom FT ie take a measurement from the model and times it by 16, how accurate would this be?
Any idea on which colour the curvy lines would have been painted on? Would they have been black and painted inside in different colours like manyWW1 camouflage examples? And the identity and location of this tank? I see no weapons... but it's possible that this one is a German "Beute"?
An excellent but I suppose expensive kit, comes with a CD with photos and instructions, makes into a really nice model. -- Edited by DaveS on Tuesday 2nd of December 2014 05:07:56 PM-- Edited by DaveS on Tuesday 2nd of December 2014 07:48:53 PM
Came across this photo of the Holt Gas-Electric Tank, not new but it was nice and clear and of a size that might help anyone thinking of building a model. Found it here.
Hi, new member with a possible thorny old question. I want to paint up some a/c's that will work for the 3rd Afghan War and into the 1920s in the region (Waziristan etc). I have read many views on what colour these vehicles were painted from grey, to white, to service colour, to desert khaki. I expect the...
Please note the attached image. Can any forum member ID the German (?) lorry manufacturer that produced this rather unusual rear suspension assembly? Regards .... Rod -- Edited by BSM on Thursday 18th of December 2014 07:51:57 AM
I've always been fascinated by this odd quasi-turban, and have hoped to get my hands on one, since I have difficulty understanding how they are assembled. I've seen a few on eBay over the years but they've always ended up out of my price range; have yet to find a manufacturer of reproductions of them. Th...
While scanning British WWI documents at NARA, I came across six pages that describe Australian Corps and Division signs. I thought the members of this forum may find them interesting. Regards, Marc
Having finally managed to get hold of a Mister X conversion set i will get on with converting an Emhar. There are a couple of questions that someone out there will be able to answer 1. Was there an escape hatch at the front of the tank like the MkI/II supply tanks? 2. I suspect there was but which way does it...
