I'm building the Emhar Whippet Tank, but I have a question for ya. Which end is the bloody front of the thing? Looking at it, I would almost say the cab area is the front except for the door there. It seems that the engine was in the front judging by the placement of the machine guns in the cab area. Am I right?

The "Cab" was at the back of the Whippet,the long nose was the front.In all the pictures I have seen of the tank the long nose is leading as the tank drives forwards.
Hope this helps you some?

yes, that helps a lot. It's a strange looking beastie to say the least. Now I need to find some 1/35th WWI figures to go with it. I've heard that ICM plans to release some, but haven't seen them yet.

Yep it was a strange looking tank,must have been very hot and noisy in it like all the other tanks of the era.As for WW I troops I have not seen any at all but you never know there are probably some out there somewhere,good luck in your search :-)
