Just finished today is my 1/72 Whippet Mk A tank, A347 Firefly, of B Company, 6th Battalion Tank Corps in France early 1918. The kit decals were used from the EMHAR kit which depicts Firefly with a minor few inaccuracies. I built the speedy (8mph) tank out of the box, with the addition of the communications wire reel added to the front. Armament was four 0.303 in Hotchkiss Mk 1 machine guns, one covering each direction. As there were only three crewmen, the gunner had to jump around a lot, though often assisted by the commander. Always wanted to make one of these and gain an appreciation of my favourite early tanks. And, now Mephisto has a 1/72 buddy on my shelf. Enjoy!
Lovely build! Nice the paintjob too, and the subtle weathering (that colour of muddy grease on the winch is a great touch). Check that front turret seam, there's a slight misalignment along the front panel upper edge (over the front machine gun port).
Keep up the good work!
