I don't think so - there are no hits in wsmk.konradus.com either. I have a recollection that I've seen an S-tank model on one of those Russian sites which has/had old Junior Technician models. The effort required to build one of those might be better spent designing your own. French WW2...

That's an easy one - http://armor.kiev.ua/Tanks/Modern/ - scroll down to "СССР/Россия" and pick your tank. Regards, Charlie

Look in the Parts Bin - there are a couple of circle centre finders - print them on transparency. If you are cutting lots of disks all the same size - another way is to cut out a disk of plain card as a pattern with same diameter with your circle cutter - overlay the disk on the circle to be cut...

That doesn't sound right - Wikipedia says 61,000 m and the site http://www.e94114.de/Eisenbahngeschuetze/K5_Leopold.htm#Daten says 62,200 m. The barrel was 76 calibres long with a muzzle velocity of around 1100 m/s - the longer range sounds plausible. I think you've got to be careful about...

Is this any help? http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/leopold.htm http://commandos.strategyplanet.gamespy.com/leopold.html I think the first set is the K-5 at Aberdeen, Maryland - there's another one in France at Boulogne-sur-Mer. Regards, Charlie

Can I make the point that now Poland is part of the EU there will be pressure on the cardmodel publishers in Poland to provide multi-lingual instructions to conform to EU regulations. I notice that GPM has started doing this and I'd expect the others to follow suit. Regards, Charlie

There was a recent report of a KV-1 being recovered from a Russian river in similar condition to the T-34. I guess the secret is the cold water and being submerged in mud. Regards, Charlie

It's probably your network environment - try a download manager like FDM (free download manager) http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/ which can restart the download if it stalls or fails. Regards, Charlie

Steve Marshall's Tsar Tank (Lebedenko) isn't free - you can download it but if you build it it will cost $5 (send image of build) or $10 otherwise. The download is here: http://home.1asphost.com/homespunmagixx/TzarTank/tzar.htm. Personally I like the distribution idea - even if it is...

The Stridsvagen was the German LK II from 1918 which in turn was the German take on the British Whippet tank. The Swedes bought the German LK IIs at the end of WWI. The Stridsvagen served in the Swedish army until the 1930s. There's a good resource site on WWI armour at...

Wayne McCollough posts free versions of his WW1 armour at: http://www.hal-pc.org/~mccullou/cards/ppzdl.htm There are a few commercial models available from Modelik (mostly) in 1/25. Regards, Charlie

Sounds silly - but actually makes sense - diesel fuel is relatively non-volatile so it can be used as a "liquid" armour. There have been a number of AFVs designed so the fuel tanks supplement the main armour. Regards, Charlie

Sounds like s.Pz.Abt. 503 got a decent chunk of the Tiger II production from August 1944. From the unit history at http://www.alanhamby.com/unithist.html#503 "19 September 1944 - 22 September 1944 Equipped with 45 Tiger IIs, 47 on hand" Regards, Charlie

Here's a reasonably definitive account of Zimmerit: http://www.afvnews.ca/zimmerit.html The use of Zimmerit was stopped in September 1944 so late war vehicles didn't have it. The "ambush" camouflage scheme (the dappled effect) was introduced in August 1944 so there probably wouldn't have been...

GPM #25/1998 is the most recent Merkava model. I think this is a Merkava 2 with mine plow. Reports say it's a reasonable model. As far as I'm ware there is no model in 1/25 of the Merkava 4. The GPM model is available at many of the on-line shops. Regards, Charlie
