Looking for information on the Perinelle-Dumay tank project of 1918
Permalink Closed

Hello everyone


 Here is a new one for you, I am looking for some information on the French Perinelle-Dumay tank project of 1918, some sources say it was a project of 1933, this is as far as I know not true, The project was started in 1918 as the French answer to the K-Wagen, and the Flying Elephant projects, it was to be finnished by the 1919 offensive.


I can find no evidence it was ever built in prototype formI have a rather crude drawing from an old Steel Masters Model magazine, along with some rather awesome model pictures, were Paul Malmassari scratch built it. It resembles a stretched out Schneider, with three full track systems on each side. I also have a little information from an old French book from 1920, But alas I can not read French, and Babel Fish translation does not seem to translate to good to English.


Any help would be greatly appreciated                                                                             All the Best


Tim R

If you need any help with French, I'll be happy to oblige. And German. That goes for everyone, by the way. Well, within reason.

That would be grand Tim! And I can always exercise my schoolboy French (O Level, grade C, back in the days when exams were hard!), I can actually just about get by reading French.

Edition 17 of Steelmasters apparently has an article on a Perinelle-Dumay "Floating Tank". Whether that is WWI or not, can't say. The cover has a couple of nice WWI items on it.

Hi James,


That's where Tim's main info comes from! Thanks for pointing it out, though! I ordered it earlier this week and it arrived within two days - good service. It's an interesting article, the bulk of it is on modelling the vehicle, but there's a fair section on the background which I translated the other day.

No problem, James, that's what this board is for - exchanging information!


I do recommend getting that issue. Also...


...if you like barmy French superheavy tanks, I strongly recommend you get Steelmasters No.15, too (you may as well if you're going to all the trouble of ordering No.17!), there's a superb article on the FCM-F1 (link here: http://www.chars-francais.net/archives/fcm_f1.htm - do click on the 'LA MAQUETTE' link at the bottom of the page).

I offer a high-resolution scan of two to Hedi for this:



Thanks

Mario
