Looking for WWI Armour and Figures can anybody help? The selection
appears to be limited, is there any specialty sites for equipment,
figures and diorama? Thanx
it think u can only get wwi in 1/72 scale
check here for figures http://www.militaryhobbies.ca/directory.cfm?CategoryID=179
there is wwi tanks on that site, but i don’t have the link right now.
Look for companies such as “Emhar”, “Tauro”, “Model Cellar” and “RPM”. Squadron.com is a good supplier.
Here’s an interesting link:

RPM and Emhar carry some 1:35 WWI armor, Tauro used to have an A7V, I’m not sure about any others from them though. The only one I’ve worked on (and haven’t completed) is the Tauro A7V (no longer available) and it’s pretty rough. I don’t know about RPM and Emhar quality. I have scratchbuilt an LKII, and from that experience I can say that WWI armor is pretty easy to scratchbuild providing you have good references and are able to cast the tracks.
Emhar’s kits are a snap, RPM will try your patience, and I have not built my Tauro kits yet (I have the A7V and an Italian tank). I think Emhar makes a A7V in 1/72, tho. I hope I have better luck with than you did, Mr. Snow, but those tracks do look like a real chore.
If you buy this months FSM look at the squadron ad. they are featuring all WWI in 1/35-1/72.
