Steve_farrier Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 ok so having got to grips with the forum etc I have tried doing some simple research here on Su85s (the Russian self propelled gun) and found I keep getting 0 results... yet I know I've posted my own article about my build (maybe the forum doesn't show my own threads to me?) and can't imagine in the history of the forum no one else has built one or even discussed one? Is it jist me? Help :-) steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That`s my experience anyway. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_farrier Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Oh ok. I wonder how I'll manage that with this particular model lol. I'm not sure they were given a name as such. Ill continue looking though :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 You need at least three letters to get a valid search, and the forum software doesn't like letter-number combinations. There might be more hope through using the advanced search function. But I'd try looking for key words that might appear in the text, like Soviet, Russia or tank destroyer. Advanced search will let you search for more than one together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozothenutter Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Same problem here...can't seem to find anything on Tiger I tanks, unlees I search in 'all content' which makes the results nex to useless! Simplifying the search to Tiger in just the armour subsection 'topics' yield 0 results.....very frustrating.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I've had some success using Google and finishing the question with 'Brit Modeller', eg Revell Tiger tank review Brit Modeller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimea River Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I agree. I'm a newbie here and wanted to search for answers to questions I have before I bug people to repeat things already covered. No luck getting a hit for a simple thing like "drop tanks". Really? I thought it was just me having issues and thought that maybe I had to reach some minimum post threshold before the search function worked for me.

John Laidlaw Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Go to your favourite search engine and type in: site:www.britmodeller.com +"Tiger I" Some will argue there's no need for the "www" part, but I prefer to be precise. If you want to narrow the search further, to, for example, the Ready for Inspection sub forums, use: site:www.britmodeller.com +"Tiger I" +"Ready for Inspection" The same would go for Work in Progress. @Crimea River - try this: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Awww.britmodeller.com+%2B"drop+tanks"&t=ffnt&ia=web 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimea River Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Thanks for that John. Seems like a roundabout way of trying to find something here but hey, whatever works! Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
