Since I was here. I did buy the Takom Male Mark IV tank. It isn't really complicated, but the parts count sure frightened me!
One problem though. I'm working on the two big guns and have no idea what they actually looked like or what colors the portions were. Has anyone else already done this model?
Were the big guns unpainted too, or the paint stripped off this example? I assumed the barrel would at least have had a protective coat applied to it, as it stuck outside.
The piece looks like it is pretty much in original condition - just as taken from the tank it had been installed to (some 97 or so years ago). The protective coat is a layer of grey paint. The breech is rusty, ought to have been bare metal once. The gun sight is painted black (glossy, it seems).
