on a similar note (sorry to steal the spotlight, David) which company makes the best models? For my money, it's a toss-up between Tamiya and Dragon. Some of the older Tamiya kits don't have fantastic detail (their 4-figure German infantry kit comes to mind), but for the most part they're pretty dam...

Sid, theres actually a HUGE market for armour, and its just not available. There's a LOT of Allied stuff restored, and more coming back to life each year, and you can trip over T34s basically anywhere in the marketplace, but there are many types particularly German and other Axis that just aren't t...

Probably your best bet would be to get involved with a restoration project (there's a lot of stuff being exported from the CIS) if 100% authentic is your aim. Tooling up to produce components for one tank would cost a fortune, unless you could locate the original jigs etc. As has been pointed out, i...

I'll bet those final words had something to do with Vegemite!!! ark ark! The Fokker Triplane was one of the most aerodynamically-sound designs of the First World War, small and very light weight with much less wing-loading because of the shared load on the three wings, but very much more of a box-k...

I heard on the TV the other night that the Germans are making a new film about Baron von Richtofen. Check IMDB (Internet Movie Database) for more info. Aside, anyone who has seen Cross of Iron of recent, is it me or does the same Russian soldier get killed on three seperate occasions near the end of...

Presumably this is because a member of the Nachrichen Abteilung would be using communications on a regular basis (telephone switchboards, radio stations) whereas a radio operator (Funker) in the infantry or other section would be the only man trained to use the portable radio in the field? Hence the...
