1/72 Schwere Kampfwagen (Beute)
Permalink   


Here's my take on a captured Mk. IV in German service.

I wanted to 'germanize' it as much as possible, so I replaced the bow machine gun with a Tank Gewehr and added a top hatch to the driver's cab.

I also replaced the unditching beams and the luggage storage area (?) to the top aft of the tank, as well as adding lots of other little details to the Emhar kit.

And, yes, I imagine I've indulged in quite a bit of artistic license. Not replacing the Hotchkiss machine guns for Lewis ones, to mention one thing. smile

Kaiser, you have done an excellent job on the construction but your finish really sets it off. Great job.
