Now that's what I like to see!

Good to see another new WW1 tank coming into production.

That's really COOL! I'm sure our 1/35 WWI Infantry will look great advancing alongside this BEAST!!

How effective was a mortar mounted like that? The mortar crew or commander doesn't have a clear view to the front and they are situated very close to the exposed tracks. And when the vehicle is in motion all the movement would prevent any accuracy of fire. Stopping to fire would only make them a sitting target.

Why the Tadpole? It was an experimental concept to cross trenches that was never deployed. Although I welcome any WW1 tank model, we really need the Mk I and Mk V

Probably not very effective and possibly a bit dangerous at times too.

Sacrilage man! We need a MkI and V yes but a Tadpole had to happen.

It might never have been deployed but that doesn't matter as it's still a part of WW1 tank history.

If you have a MK IV you can add only some parts to obtain a Tadpole and it seems people love this tank. A very easy way to make some money for Takom.
Following this way and looking how Takom splits sponson parts, the next easy version to obtain may be a Supply Tank. It needs new closed sponsons (only three parts to modify on each sponson), an hatch over driver cab (two parts, may be three) and some decals.

Mk I and V were very different from Mk IV.

No complaints from me! I'll get one. KEEP THEM COMING!

I agree about the prototype limited appeal BUT this makes a very impressive model. I built the Emhar Tadpole recently and it got more attention on display (in a local hobby shops) than other models, just so unique and big!

Not sure I'd buy another one though...

Cheers,

Christophe

I hope we get a A7V

I want them ALL!

But, the Tadpole will be a good start!

Looking forward to the Tadpole but I wonder if we'll see any more WW1 tanks before the Centenary year's out?

The Hobbyboss Schneider should be out soon but obviously there's the Whippet, A7V and MkVIII Liberty tank too that could be done.
