Jim,

Thanks posting on abandoned film based on 'Tramp in Armour'. I picked up a old library copy of the book to read. I have been looking for more WW2 related fiction from the 50s. 60s and 70s. It ...

Hi P-O,

Please feel free to use the photo. The Sherman Minutia website has been a helpful reference for me and its been great to watch the site develop.

As a reply to Koluchiy, there is at least open PzIV inside at Ft.Benning. I didn't get a direct photo of it this winter, but you can see it in the background.

The caption of the M48A5 based 2S3 over on Flickr says this was a film prop vehicle, but it looks more like a US military OPFOR vehicle. I am assuming the driver's position is still up front. Anyway, ...

Why does the front of the T-54/55 front hull sides tapper down at the bow in the area of the front idlers? Why shorten the width of the hull at this point and add additional welding work? Was it to re ...

Thanks, I will try to order a copy of the book, its now listed at 12 Euros. I picked up a DML T-34-85 that I want to build while I finish painting another project. I will make a go at a CNG vehicle, n ...

Thanks Costas, Patrik and MLE,

I was able find a copy of Steve Zaloga's old T-34-85 Osprey booklet and in passing he states that the vehicles were supplied by Yugoslavia. Don't know how much that's ...

I found an old post on missing-lynx regarding 32 T-34-85's used by the Greek Cypriot National Guard during the 1974 war, and I was wondering how did these T-34's end up in Cyprus? Were they supplied b ...

You could recreate in UK at least part of the part of the Villers-Bretonneux battle where the A7V 561 "Nixie" slugged it out with a Mark IV male today. To do it right, Bob Grundy's A7V replica would n ...

Wow, its been at least two years since I had last seen the Poelcapelle site. It's great to read that they were able to find the funds to make the replica into a self-propelled vehicle. They did a grea ...

The Last Crusade tank was roughly modeled on a Mark VIII, I don't know it I would call not call it a WW1 tank replica. I also believe they hauled what was left of the well known static version of this ...

Just looking at Harstad on google earth, it looks like small, but well used port town with a population of just over 20,000 people today. If anything the vehicle was recovered because it was a hazard ...
