Little question
« on: April 13, 2014, 10:13:25 PM »
I've never done WWI armies, but as it's a century ago I've decided to make a little start, but now I've a question:

Would these vehicles be historic correct for WWI? I've honestly no idea...  :?

In a word, No

They are based on the 1970s british 'Saladin' armoured car.

If your looking for American tanks of WW1 check out the FT-17s.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

I wasn't particularly searching for American tanks, I just remembered I had those and thought they might have been of any use. Will keep them for a future project now.

anyways thanks for the respond, might check the tanks out.

They're old Matchbox series vehicles. I have several of each sitting around the house.
