A quick question please - what colours did the A-H army use for its artillery during the Great War? And the Czechoslovak Army between the wars? (And if the answer is 'khaki', do you mean browny green or greeny brown or brown?) I'm making the new 1/35 IBG Skoda guns. The postwar Italian mountain gun varia...
The subject of Home Forces or training numbers has cropped up recently in discussions on the Tanks part of this Forum.? These, I should clarify, are the large white numbers painted on the horns of heavy tanks in the UK.? It has occurred to me?a few weeks ago how these numbers might work.? This post is to t...
Hello, After a long hiatus on this model I have finally started painting the 1/35th PanzerShop Mark B. What renewed my interest was a color plate in the recently published Osprey New Vanguard book on the Whippet Tank. This color scheme is of a Red Army Mark B captured from the White forces. I have y...
I'm replacing the Emhar unditching rails with something more accurate. The Emhar rails scale out as an angle about 4,25" deep by 2,5" wide by 1" thick. The Airwaves brass rails scale out at approx 2,75" by 2,75". Does anyone have the correct size of angle used on the Mk IV? ...
Just found some Corgi WW1 models online. There is a tank and a bus, but scale is uncertain. Sellers are saying they are 1/72 scale, but they look a bit bigger .
Just noticed, what is hopefully start of a new range to complement their newWW1 narrow gauge narrow gauge railway models,Bachmann 36-409 - OO Scale )http://www.bachmann.co.uk/image_box.php?image=images1/scraft/36-409.jpg&cat_no=36-409&inf...
Did anyone else happen to catch the first episode 'The First Day' - The Battle of Mons? I was stunned at the calibre of this programme, especially given it was on the same channel as Family Guy! Utterly compelling from the word go. Made with raw urgency, with no punches pulled. Based on real accounts, a...
Prompted by a related thread on building an improved 1/35 Tamiya Mk.IV, I started checking carefully my own Emhar Mk.IV kit, and discovered that it also seems to be based on the Bovington machine. The rearmost roof panel has the same "doors" and it needs adding the rear wall and fuel tank ar...
Hello , ? is there anyone who has building experience , pictures or knows the history of this kit ? ? It's a white metal kit in the scale 1/32 with a conversion set including track spuds. ? Looking forward . ? best regards Max
Hmmm, seems like the decal fairies have been putting Male decals in Female boxes at Takom towers. Anyone else got Male decals in their Female kit? I don't particularly want to model Flirt II or a Beutepanzer, but c'mon...
This might be a bit controversial, but is posted in the hope that further information comes to light. In my opinion, much of the time the rusty tracks on models are is overdone. I base this on observation of hundreds of photos in various climatic states. In only one place have I found heavily rusted tra...

Cleethorpes (Lincolnshire) presentation tank. Resided on the sea front on a 20 degree concentrate plinth. Painted on a horn was home service number 75. It appears to be a female. I would appreciate help with my research in this tank. Could the forum please help me answer the following questions? 1....
Hello everyone, I am building a 1/2 scale A7v & I need some assistance on the track & wheel system. I have access to the Schiffer & vanguard books but not the "bible" of the A7V (Hundleby) so my details are limited. If you have any diagrams or photos that you could share I'd be very...
This article refers to a book entitled 'Fritz', apparently by an anti-aircraft gunner stationed at Metz. Has anyone heard of it or no more about it?http://www.landships.info/landships/artillery_articles.html?load=/landships/artillery_articles/KFlak_88.html
