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...

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
Recentkly I acquired this kit. Is a bit rough in the edges, but I could assemble the three vehicles included in the box in just one afternoon. I didn't added the horses yet, there's something disturbing in their anatomy. Here are the models without painting: -- Edited by d_fernetti on Sunday 17th of Au...
Hello to you all, i'm a new member from Italy. I've lost this passion for some years, but, like a tropical fever, it's come back to me again. I'm sorry about my poor english and i hope to show you something in a short time. My compliments for this magnificent and useful forum. Marco
I have blundered across some extraordinary material. First of all, this vid of the famous Afghan junkyard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ37xBFrkgo Don't know if it's already known that a 1918 Lancia a/c was amongst the vehicles there. It's the first item. Then a Renault appears at 42 secs,...
Poor old Mk.IV's been sitting in the loft since I started it in 2011 so it was about time to get on and finish it. The Mr.X corrected Mk.IV sponson masters were made for this model and a set had been duly fitted along with drilled out gun barrels and resin tracks from the MK.I kit. The unditching beam rails w...
Hi Guy's, first thank you for helping out the Trucks. Now the guns. In Elverdinge and in St Elooi, nearby my hometown of Ypres, there are two old guns builty by Krupp. Via?passioncompassion, i know this as the "12 cm schwere Kanone 79". Now im not sure, because after a reaction from another g...
Recently finished one of Wayne McCullough's cardmodels rescaled from 1/72 to 1/50 (try that with plastic). The model is a Mark V of the Red Army, 1921. The tracks were made using the track elements of Wayne's gun carrier which seem to make up as creditable tracks. The tracks are the older narrow type b...
Well there's no point breaking out the airbrush and compressor just to paint one model now is there? Pretty much everything I did on my Mk.IV male was repeated on this one with the exception of the sponsons. A set of my corrected Mk.IV sponsons were modified to supply tank configuration, moulded and th...
As a retired researcher, I still enjoy looking up 'stuff' on the Internet. However, I've not have much luck finding three-dimensional views of Continental WW1 vehicles. If any of you can tell me what French or German terms are the equivalent of "three-dimensional'. it would be greatly app...
