Just got my Squadron flyer for November !!!
Back in the 70's I built a 1/72 WWI tank that had a wheel assembly attached to the rear, I assume that was to get over the trenches or not fall over backward?
anyways - does anyone know what type of tank this was and if its in the Emhar series of 1/35 WWI tanks as listed in the flyer? None of the pics show the assembly that I remember.
thx - Craig
British Mk4 by Airfix ?
You're thinking of the Airfix Mk 1 (which was actually closer to a mk II, but that's another story).
The wheels were for steering, but were soon dropped as they (a) weren't needed and (b) got in the way
Only the mks I and II had the wheels.
Remove nospam to reply!!
The kit would be the Airfix Mk 1.
Emhar does Mk IV's in 1/35 and 1/72, in Male (2 x 6pdr, 3 x machine-guns) and Female (5 x machine-guns) form, also a Mk V. These are all the same general lozenge shape as the Mk 1, but without the steering tail. I guess you could scratch-build one if you wanted to...
