Hmmm...there's the "hermaphodite" version... this one must be a "transsexual" version... who says tanks aren't sexy?![]()

MARIECHEN was a female tank armed with German MG (those on the cover are British Lewis). The box art is a copy of o model built by a russian modeller, in my opinion decals are not of the correct shape. Hera a picture of the real tank

This would be mandatory if you have a breeding project
H.P.
Takom's original releases of the Mk.IV Male & Mk.IV Female had individual track links, and each link was a multi-part affair. This turned off some (myself included) from building either kit. Modelers complained, and Takom listened, releasing a set of one-piece links. These were included in their Mk.IV Hermaphrodite kit. I would like to think that this kit contains those same one-piece track links, rather than the original multi-piece ones. Which would make this kit more attractive to those who were turned off by the work involved in assembling the original tracks. As a side note, except for one six-pounder barrel, the Hermaphrodite kit contained all of the parts necessary to build any of the three versions. Takom could have marketed that kit as a "3-in-1" if they had included the second barrel.Al
