https://www.worldmilitariaforum.com/forums/discover/World Militaria Forum - All ActivityenHello all. I was hoping to add Red Brown as my camo color, but somehow it looked more of a purplish color than brown when I airbrushed it on. So I decided to go with a Deep Green which came out OK. Later I'll give the tank a dark wash to tone down the green. Now its time to finish the suspension and road wheels. Well I hope you like the pics. Semper FiFri, 24 Jul 2026 04:55:35 +0000Having issues this evening loading additional pics…will post more in pieces.Fri, 24 Jul 2026 03:38:05 +0000Fresh from the States perhaps the Iron Cross was painted on this M7B2 in America for deliverty?Fri, 24 Jul 2026 02:11:19 +0000Fri, 24 Jul 2026 01:58:06 +0000Make that 2 flames missing. It's 7 for the legion BillyhThu, 23 Jul 2026 11:29:01 +0000An M18 or M16 on a Polish Fighter during the Warsaw Uprising, this helmet which seems to have a Polish Flag or Pennant painted on it, could either be one captured from the Germans or old Polish Army stores they got their hands on, as the Army used the type in 20s-30s.Wed, 22 Jul 2026 21:12:52 +0000Don't think I posted this yet. Was issued in WW2 and the RCAF used it into the 1960'sWed, 22 Jul 2026 18:18:46 +0000Welcome aboard.Wed, 22 Jul 2026 17:32:09 +0000I’m glad you asked, never noticed the stars don’t go through.Wed, 22 Jul 2026 00:02:42 +0000y Something is going on with the site. Any who, I primed the Panther in the German dark red, then airbrushed it in a dark Yellow Ochre. That's because I was low on Dark Yellow and didn't want to use Desert Yellow. Besides it gave me some nice shadows. Next, I'll airbrush the Red Brown splotches for camouflage. Enjoy the pics and as always, all comments and critiques are greatly appreciated. Semper Fi. Manny sTue, 21 Jul 2026 23:19:01 +0000I agree, I would leave it as is as well. 👍Tue, 21 Jul 2026 20:48:50 +0000Hello- Apologies if I posted this before -but it appeared again in my "what is it?" pile. AI thinks it's British, but crown and pin is odd for that. I thought German, but the 925 mark would be unusual. Any thoughts? Thanks! JerryTue, 21 Jul 2026 20:16:49 +0000Rough, but real! Don't try and clean it or anything- just leave it as is. It has "character".Tue, 21 Jul 2026 20:13:01 +0000Nice find! Unfortunately, I found this six months after you posted it because I am now looking for a holster and magazine.Tue, 21 Jul 2026 15:27:27 +0000Thanks for the comment, I missed this earlier. True, by the end they might have been using whatever they could get. I paid very little for these, like $12.Tue, 21 Jul 2026 12:55:54 +0000Opinions please on these types of RAF ww2 period half wings. Clean example I purchased recently from the UK, comparing with others online it looks as though everyone else is selling with this type of backing, also stitching looks identical to alot of others online present when looking closely. My question to these type of patches experts out there is, Are there a whole bunch of repros getting sold out there as WW2 era RAF wings, or are these legit 30s/40s manufacturing techniques on display here. I have a book at home that i will be looking at tonight for some more answers, but please take a look and maybe compare to your own versions at home. Thanks Folks PS. the close ups on the reverse sides are thruogh a magnifying glass with a light. That is why they look slighty whiterTue, 21 Jul 2026 05:22:14 +0000looks good to me tooTue, 21 Jul 2026 05:02:53 +0000Thanks for the input. Do you think it is genuine 19th Century or a later repro. I think genuine. Laurence PS One of my favorite movies.Mon, 20 Jul 2026 20:02:29 +0000The Hall marks are as follows left to right; First the maker which I cannot make out at all, second the lion means it is sterling, third I think is a harp if so it is for Dublin, and forth the letter k means it was made in 1905.Mon, 20 Jul 2026 13:41:31 +0000Yes broken in half, one stays with the body the other turned in to HQ to have the death recorded. Sorry but I do not personally like this tag, looks like the ones we use for reenactingMon, 20 Jul 2026 09:53:02 +0000Congratulations!! The book looks fantastic! The North Koreans and Chinese fought bravely. I thought the movie The Battle at Lake Changjin was good and gave a perspective that does not get heard enough. I hope your book does well!!Mon, 20 Jul 2026 06:05:39 +0000Well the tracks are finished. Now its priming and base coat time. Semper Fi. MannyMon, 20 Jul 2026 05:06:57 +0000Of course. Jane's is military. But interesting question you raise. I have a hard believing they surpass soviet/russian quality, its always been such a durable rifle. But i do feel like the Norinco SKS/MAC90 receive are recognized as quality weapons when, at least as I saw it, they were called junk and cheap Chinese knock offs. China manufacturing has improved dramatically in many areas over the last decade or two, but in retrospect I believe Norico was making quality guns back in the early 90's that were relatively inexpensive.Mon, 20 Jul 2026 04:38:34 +0000Doesn't have any info for that rifle, it mainly has military rifles listed. Something I saw noted in another book about the Chinese sks, is that it's mainly the design that makes it tough. I wonder if the original Russian ones or the versions made in other countries are higher quality or not.Mon, 20 Jul 2026 02:53:16 +0000Thanks.Mon, 20 Jul 2026 02:47:22 +0000
