I wasn't sure where else to post this.

It's the Emhar kit . I get a kick out of WWI tanks. I'd like to have one...you'd never need to worry about finding a parking space

See Martin..I can do other thing besides submarines! :-) :-)

I work on this while the sub stuff is drying :-) :-)





See ya again when it's finished.

Looks good, I've got the whole set of Emhar 1/72 scale armor. Real interesting kits.

Awsome, like Erizemen said, the finished result is in my eyes all ready with all the weathering this thing is gonna have, unless somehow it didn't go onto the field

Is that entire line of kits WW1?

lookin' good

Steven, I know why you like this tank:
give it 2 screws and a periscope and you have a sub!
:-)
But serious, I've builded this Emhar kit also (what do you think of the plastic parts. It feels like Tupperware...).
Take time too 'Google' around on the internet and you'll find some nice ideas to add extra detail on this little guy.
Looking forward to the results!

It looks a little better after priming. I can see there are some gap problems and misalignments. Nothing too major.

Paul (007) Yeah the plastic does seem a bit funky and the tracks are really fragile. As I was test fitting one, it snapped in two sections. You're right John...they already are!

I'd like to get the "Male" as well.

I love these huge lumbering things. I had the chance to see the example in the Imperial War Museum when I was in London in 85. It was really cool.


Later guys..and gals!

These early tanks are Huge, but the Mark IX (logistical tank), was almost twice the size of the Mark V.

Steve, very nice piece of equipment you have there! Mark v (female)? Looks as if you’re enjoying the build.

Bovington has a few examples as well. What struck me as funny was that even the non-armoured (mild steel) prototype was commandeered and sent off to fight.

Yes, in both 1/35 and 1/72 scale Emhar has WW1 tanks. In 1/72 scale they do the Mark V Male and Mark V female, Whippet and A7V German tank. In 1/35 scale they do the Mark V male and female, Tadpole, Whippet and a Hermaphrodite was announced.
