2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I (1914-1918), so it’s not surprising to see many model makers adding WWI tanks, aircraft, and ships to their kit lineups. The very first tanks were built and used during WWI, but up until now there have only really been the classic Emhar kits of various WWI tanks in 1/35 scale. Now Takom is here to take us into the 21st century world of modeling technology with this all-new kit of the British Mark IV “Male” Heavy Tank!
The 28-ton Mark IV “Male” was so named due to its heavier armament: two 6-pounder cannons mounted in large sponsons on the sides of the hull (the lighter “Female” was armed only with machine guns in much smaller sponsons) in addition to three Lewis machine guns. Capable of a modest 6.4kph, the Mark IV tanks caused quite a shock on the battlefield when they were first introduced.
Takom’s stunningly detailed kit of the Mark IV “Male” tank features workable indy-link tracks, a fully reproduced suspension and drive system with workable wheels, two turned metal gun barrels for the 6-pounder cannons, photo-etched metal detail parts, and markings for two variations.
Armor modelers have been hoping for new WWI armor kits for decades, and now that wait is finally over! In addition to the “Male,” Takom also offers the “Female” version of the Mark IV…be sure to get both!
