Can anyone recommend a book about WW1 British Tank construction ?

[GRANVILLE]

As the title suggests, looking for a book which focuses on the construction of the tank rather than the battle involvement - am looking to produce a model of one in due course.

I don't know of a particular book but another site I was on a few days ago mentioned that plans can be purchased from Bovinton Museum. I went back to the site today and found a posting where some one else is building a WW1 tank.

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for this link Mowatt, I get a feeling all I will need is contained in that very informative thread - brilliant!

Hi

I have a book(let), about 100 pages long, called "Compendium Of Tank Drawings", published by Military Library Research Service Ltd. I got my copy on eBay but it's available here.... http://www.mlrsbooks.co.uk/bookstore/index.php/prod536.html

Packed full of scale drawings of WW1 tanks

Good luck,

Simon

Hi Simon. Would these be what you got via eBay? http://www.ebay.co.u...=item564e5ac1f2

No, but my booklet has plans of this sort of quality. The pages are 27.5 x 20.5 cm.
