Thankyou for the link. A good read, great pics and I really liked the colour/s used. Is it yours? I wonder if it would be possible to produce a similar-ish level of track detail on 1-35 scale?  I've just about finished my 1-48 size A7V - keen to try a larger, better one now. Have developed a new fondness for the simple shape, now I don't see it as crude - but strangely elegant (und sehr Teutonic).

There's a free 1/48 cardmodel of the A7VU available - in case you want to do another small scale one.

Regards,

Charlie

Hi Mark, the model isn't mine. 

The craftmanship of paper modellers never fail to impress me, this Mack build is brain-numbing http://www.kartonwork.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6302&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=20 

The track scaled to 1-35 must be more difficult than 1-25, but worth a try.

Yes, the looks of the A7v does grow on you.

That Mack is an absolute marvel. Thanks LT. I loved the jigs for leaf springs, chain drive etc. Just amazing. Another folder full of images & inspiration I've squirreled away. I'd had a good trawl through that site before, but missed this gem.  There must be a Polish genetic mutation that produces 1/72 scale fingers for masterpiece 1/25 models.

Hi Chris, I found 2 free card A7Vs in 1-72,  I've just been re-scaling things by screen-shotting PDFs and laying it all up in Photoshop and setting print size from there, lines get murky though. I have the model photos & dwgs of the A7 'U' here on Landships, is that the one? (I'm halfway through a quick and dirty 1/48 Whippet at the moment, practice for a better one)

Greetings, Josh

One source of 1/72 cardmodel A7Vs is: http://paperpanzer.co.uk/Models/Tanks/German/WWI/A7v/A7v.htm

A better model is at: http://www.mylinuxisp.com/~wmccullough/a7v.html.

Wayne's download models are in low res, high res versions can be purchased from http://www.hobbyfactory.com/

The 1/48 A7V-U is at: http://thaipaperwork.hobby-site.net/our-works/armor-series/. The only major issue with this model is the shape of the lower part of the sponsons.

Regards,

Charlie
