May Hobby Boos and Takom begin battling to see who can get the first Whippet and A7V out next. This will be another must buy along with Takom's Mk IV and late St Chamond.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to see those now especially the Whippet as it uses the same tracks as the MkIV. I'd love a MkVIII International too and a Ford 1918 tank.

It's great to see the WWI-era stuff finally getting its due. This is definitely one of those that I thought would 'never' be kitted.

Finally the companies are paying attention to the WWI. I want one Schneider, of course! And now, is the wait for the Whippet!

Emhar's realeasing a Schneider too. If it's anything like their other tanks though it won't probably be anywhere near as good as the Hobbyboss one.
