With the 100th anniversary of the tank in 2 years time I wouldn't be surprised if we see a few more Mks appear over the coming years. Al

I agree! Gets me so mad when companies give a release date yet we do not see it until much later

their homepage says: "MARK IV Male & Female 17/7/2014 Release"

Freetime has it on a pre-order price of $57.95 USD. We could expect the regular price of between $10 - $20 more. (Absolutely no association with that store!). So about $75 for the Takoms?

With the experience I just had with their St Chamond I may settle for the Tamiya kit. Of course, there's not as much to screw up on the Mk IV when compared to the Chamond, so it may not be as bad.
