1/72 Wings of the Great War (WW10201) WW-I British MK-IV "Female" Tank-245 (Limited Edition)
Mk IV Female Tank 1/72 Display Model British Army, #245, "White-Red-White." World War I, a time when battle tank manufacturing was in its absolute infancy, offers us but a glimpse of the powerful, versatile, and lethal armored vehicle technology that would rapidly progress before the outbreak of World War II. These early-era tanks, to our modern sensibility, are fascinating in their simplicity though they offered soldiers of the time an opportunity to travel at higher speeds, traverse difficult landscape, and be equipped with dynamic and mobile weaponry.The Mark IV tank -- first seeing combat duty in 1917 -- was the most popular British tank of World W ar I with more than 1,200 units being produced. It benefited greatly from its Mark variant predecessors (some of the first tanks ever manufactured), and was a clear improvement in armor, fuel-tank placement, and overall ease of transport.This 1/72 scale resin replica of the Mark IV -- one of the very first models in our brand new Wings of the Great War: Armor Collection -- features textured surfaces, accurate weaponry, realistic tracks, authentic 1918 British Army markings, and a removable display stand.
