Is there any online resource that shows the chassis or underside view of the Renault AG types? Looking for some references related to the Retrokit kit... Thanks a lot in advance! D.
I'm trying to find photos, ideally from WW1 and in the UK, of artillery being moved on standard gauge railways. So far I've managed to find none. Does anyone have any I could see please, for a couple of projects I'm working on? Glad to accept photos of artillery on the continent too. If anyone has any info...
Hi Everybody, I am new to the forum and have taken a new interest in WWI tanks due to a model project so I have many questions on a subject I know very little about! So here we go... I am building a model of a Mk IV tank from the Tamiya kit and I would like to mark it up as the famous preserved machine Lodestar II...
Asked the Airfix customer service about the release date of the announced new-tooled 1/72 WW1 sets: German field gun with crew, British field gun with crew, French early war infantry. The answer is: "These are due in December at the moment but maybe put off to next year." If we show interes...

I've airbrushed Humbrol to my Emhar Mk.IV... but after two days since that, the tracks (and not the rest of the model) keep being sticky to touch. Has anyone had this trouble? Is it going to cure in due time? If not, how to fix this? TIA! D.
Hello, does anybody now the track width from Little Willie. It seems, that they are a little bit narrow than the tracks of Mark IV. ...could that be? Regards, Volker
Hello, today I got a Mark IV female from Takom in 1/35: The first step was to check its accuracy. I compared it to the data in the original drawings EOC 22097 20...

I know that Cron states that in August 1914, Fuss-Artillerie batteries had 4 guns. Was there a time after they changed from Kompanie to Batterie (1908) when Fuss-Artillerie batteries had 6 guns?
Has anyone changed altered the complete track unit suspension spring that is moulded as one piece. I have changed the plastic spring that supports the top row of bogie wheels to a real metal spring but really need to change the main spring track unit to something that looks more genuine. Anyone don...
I am grateful to a Monsieur Gerard Demaison for virtually nothing except this piece of information. The FT that stood outside the Renault offices at Boulogne-Billancourt fell into serious disrepair, with the idlers rotted away. When it was restored, the idlers were replaced by a French company th...
Posted a query in another thread. Not sure if anyone saw it since it was a specific topic about some specific photos. So, I think I'll repost the questions here, in case anyone can offer assistance. First off, I'm wondering how similar Little Willie's steering Carriage assembly is to the Mk.1 assembl...
Here is a press photo of a scrapyard in Baltimore. It is only 10 miles or so from my house. If only the tanks were still there. Regards, Marc -- Edited by MLW on Monday 20th of October 2014 01:54:56 AM
