I have just finished the A7V from Meng and tried to replicate the moment of its capture. The kit comes with markings for a single tank, the A7V with tactical number 504 named "Schnuck" by its crew. "Schnuck" was lost at Fremicourt, 31 August 1918 and was captured by the New Zealand Division.

Commendable work. For me, the interior really raised the bar.

Thank you very much Matt!

I think I may have rushed it in the end, but I guess I can always revisit it.

No wonder it got captured so easily, it's engine seems to have been misplaced!

Hah just joking, I know the kit doesn't come with the engine except the limited edition one which is apparently more than twice the price of the standard one on ebay...

I really love the weathering on both the interior and exterior. Great job!

Tobias,

Thank you very much!

Bryan,

They crew only realised when it was too late!
Fact is that it was a poor design, as it could not defeat the trenches it was supposed to overcome!
Thank you very much for the compliments, much appreciated! I think I have done a good job with it, though I now see lots of thinks that I could improve.

Brett,

Thank you so much for your kind words, I am glad you like it.

Excellent work. I'm just starting this kit, not much for reference on the interior/colors. Nice build, looks really good, the interior is eye candy.
