On Mr. Lovett's excellent site there are pictures of his 75mm artillery in green, yellow,white and black camouflage. Was this scheme also used on American C17 155mm howitzers. If not can someone suggest alternative American camouflage.
I am current working on ACEs C17 155mm howitzer. There are several shells in the set. Can someone help me with the colours used by the french artillery for the different types of shells? Thanks
Was specifically hunting for a copy pdf or otherwise of "A Compendium of Drawings of Tanks Mark V - IX and Some Experimental Tanks" published 1920 mlrs books apparently (by hunting this forum) used to sell it but they must have folded subsequently.
On a site entitled tank encyclopaedia there is an illustration of a female MkIV with a grenade netting. Is this poetic licence by the illustrator or did actually happen? I thought such netting removed after the MkI.
Back to basics: Are there any photographs of the second prototype (Big Willie, Mother, etc) actually with the name HMLS Centipede "stencilled on the side", as is often claimed? Have I seen it and just forgotten?
Hi, guys!Now I have some photos from the town of Niğde, Turkey, where one can see the Russian 87-мм light field gun M1877 on the Engelgard M1895 carriage for foot artillery. As one can see, this gun was designed for use with Treuille de Beaulieu screw breech. AFAIK there were precious few of such a...
Been thinking. A number of points have occurred to me about the mgs in the Mk V and V*. As we know, the Mk V had a mount for a machine gun at the rear. In combat, was the gun mounted permanently or only when required? Since the Mk V had 2 more crew available than the IV, was the rear mg permanently manned? Tanks s...
Something not quite as contemptuous as my last question (I hope) I was looking at the CAD drawings of Strelets' 9.2" on their site - appears to be more complicated than the previous models. When I looked at the figures, unusually they are in winter clothing. If the finished figures are Ok they sh...
Just a thought: we know the Mk V had an extra machine-gun position between the rear horns; does anyone know if a gun was fitted in the mount permanently or only when required? The V had two extra crew members available, so was the rear gun permanently manned? Did the V carry a spare mg, as the earlier Marks...
Greetings, This photo is pasted in the rear flyleaf of my copy of The Tank Corps by Ellis.? Throughout the book, the original owner stamped his name, Sherman H. Nelson, and pasted several cut-out caricatures from stationary of the (AEF) Tank Corps mascot "Tom" with the slogan, "Tre...
Just had a pleasant surprise in finding a .pdf of a 1921 manual for the 60 pounder gun Mk 1 - if anyone wants a copy, drop me an e mail and I'll send it via Dropbox, looks to include the Mk 1 and Mk 3 carriage as both used during the war (not the later type with the recuperator below the barrel)
I recently completed this heavy prime mover, just in the idea it could pull the 145 mod 16!The model is from the same manufacturer (Blitz), very easy to assemble and giving a good idea of this impressive vehicle, but maybe not as good as the gun with some places claimed for detailing and improvement esp...
Hi All
Here is my update on my garford putlov, an armo kit in 1/35
almost done except the bottom weathering
this was my first resit kit, I had a lot of fun with it, especially since you need to scratch build lots of stuff like the steps towards the drivers door.

Well Santa might be bringing a few more goodies as well as the the Ace 155mm. Noted this on the Strelet forum. Clearly the problems in the Ukraine may put a spanner in the works for the time line.StreletsNov 20, 2014 - 1:02AM86.27.26.105 Re: to Strelets'R: new releases Plan is for 11 sets. 3 Arms ser...
From a Facebook group, this purportedly shows a group of "beute" British tanks being prepared for combat in a French workshop by the Germans. I don't trust too much in the facebook captions. Is it correct? I've never seen this picture before and I thought it's rather interesting.
