A question of whippets?
Permalink   

Before asking any questions I'd better introduce myself
 
My Names Andy Holmes and I started my own website "http://www.paperpanzer.co.uk/index.htm"

I have a few models that are free to download and now even one to buy.

I'm currently working on a full version of the "Whippet".

This link is to my current free version.

My questions is could anyone help with references and colour profiles of specific Whippets, (Serial numbers - tank name - unit number) anything that you think may help.

If you could recommend a book, article or web site anything really.

I do have details on some machines but would be really interested in finding details of the Whippets sent to Japan or those that took part in the action at Villers-Brettoneux.

Andy,

Welcome to the Forum.

There are colour plates of a Whippet in the old AFV Profile 7 "Medium Tanks Marks A-D" by Chris Ellis and Peter Chamberlain, but that's of one that served with 17th Battalion in Dublin in 1919.

There is a photo of a Medium A Whippet in service with the Japanese Army in the same authors' "Pictorial History of Tanks of the World 1915-45". The serial numbers of the Japanese Whippets were 370, 386, 390 and 391.

There are other interesting colour schemes for Medium As such as those used in Russia.

Thanks for the pictures Gerd

As I said  before every photo is useful in some way, and I can always use bablefish to translate the German text.

Andy

P.S.

I have attached a picture of my whippet so far.
