Mk. I Radio Tank
Permalink   


Now that we will be having a 1/35 Mk. I model, the conversion to a radio tank should prove to be a popular one.

The drawings I find on the internet show the Radio Tank with the Mk. I steering wheels still attached.

Surely by 1917 the wheels would have been removed?

Hi Tony,

As far as I know the Tail Wheels were removed after their first outing in battle. They added one extra layer of unreliability for little gain, that these early Tanks really didn't need.

If they have taken taken the time to convert the Tank over to a specialised use, then I expect even the Tail Rams and Shield would probably have been removed to save weight.

Thanks, Helen.

I would have thought so too, but the model makers doing the conversion kit didn't!
