Stunning news - the kits look awesome - what's next in the pipeline?

Not had a good look yet but there are a couple of tiny errors, mainly due to the surviving one at Bovi not being right. Looks an awesome kit though.

Shame it wasn't Airfix, at least someone though has answered the calls of the WW1 Modellers.

If you have some time, can you point out the errors you spotted? I am very curious about it, as I would love to build a Mark I but wonder if the kit needs to be modified heavily.

presumably if the sponsons can be carried on a trailer there will be internal detail of the tank and the sponsons?

Takom are doing some really nice models hope the do a 1/16 Mk 1-4 tank so I can convert to RC.

Hi Thorsten,

The only errors I have seen is really tiny stuff that only me and very few others will ever notice, the Kit is lets say 95% accurate. That in my book makes it an amazing piece of work.

Really I can't say much until more photos appear. The errors are just very minor details, like not enough nuts on the removable track guides front and back, also not sure about the rivet pattern around the edge, the MK1 is more random than the MKIV. So real easy fix stuff.

Hello to all!

On the pictures I'm noted also absend of nuts for additional armor plates (must be for all Gaza tanks) and side net screen sections above sponsons.

Hi Denis,

Those are details that would be nice to have but there absence is excusable. The roof bolts for the spaced armour was not fitted to all Tanks, no idea why. Female versions seem to have the spacers more often than the male.

The horrible Grenade Roof that I hate, was not fitted to all Tanks and there seems to be variations in those Sections that did fit them. Some had a Rear Section to the Grenade Roof and some didn't bother, or removed, the side extensions.

Anyone seen any more photos of the kits yet?

Excellent! Don't do 1/35 but a Mk I is very tempting. Hope it includes a 1/35 kitten so I can portray Lieutenant Harry Drader and Percy the tank cat!

Looking foward to along and contentious thread on the fact that the colour of the kitten you model is wrong and that we will never know what colour kittens were during the Great War as no kittens have survived from the period in a non alterd state.

three marking options for each model but it's not clear if the Male tank will have the granade screen.
