Where can I find a World War I US or Allied tank model? I have searched online and I haven't been able to find any.

Thanks.

Greatmodels.com is one of my favorites. They have Emhar Male/Female Mark IV tanks, Whippets, and they have numerous FT-17. The FT-17's were the ones that some people like "Black Jack" Pershing and Patton cut their armored teeth on.

The FT-17 kits are made by RPM, an eastern European company. Fairly difficult kits to build. Emhar has been mentioned already. Tauro does the German A7V tank and a Fiat 3000 (Italian copy of an FT-17).

Here's a site that has plenty of info,reviews,links etc that you might find useful in modelling WW1 tanks

Greetings all,

Gene, thanks for that link really interesting.

Got to agree with the suggestion that you look at Landships, though you'll find it's more geared to Braille Scale modelling. In 1/35th your choices for US Army tanks are either the FT-17 or the Mark V, so you've the choice between the difficult RPM Renault or Emhar's not-very-good Mark V.

The Emhar tank is reviewed

HERE , though the review doesn't really tackle the problems of proportion that mess up Emhar's British heavies.

Hi Bob,

I've recently completed Emhar's 1/35 Whippet. It's not a bad kit, but don't expect DML quality.... It does require a bit of work to make it into a decent model...

I bought mine from Plastic Modelbou in Amsterdam, although I believe it's also available from Netmerchants (site sponsor) and ModelsForSale.co.uk
