Beschreibung: 

Modell einer WWI tank. Text aus der site von kgwings.com: http://www.kgwings.com/mkiv_male/mkiv_male.html

The world's first combat tank was developed for the British Army in August of 1916 during the first World War.  In order to keep development a secret factory workers were told they were constructing tracked water containers code named "Water Tanks". Nearly a century later the "Tank" is one of the most recognizable weapons on the battlefield.

In 1917 the British Mark IV was introduced with many improvements including better armor, an external fuel tank at the rear of the hull and retractable sponsons for transport by rail. A total of 1,220 Mk. IV's were built in a combination of "Male" and "Female" versions.

The Mark IV "Male" carried three to four machine guns and two 6 pounder 23 caliber guns. Early Mk.IV's were armed with Lewis machine guns because of their 96 round drum magazine. Later models would use the Hotchkiss machine gun with a flexible 50 round strip.

The Mk. IV had a crew of eight. Four crew members were needed to controll the speed and direction of the tank: a driver/brakeman, a driver/gearbox operator, and two gearsman. The other four crew members consisted of gunners and loaders for the 6 pounders

Fazit:  

Modell sieht gut aus, feiner guss, sehr wenig "flesh". Auswurfmarken sind so zu sehen gut versteckt. Passform kann ich noch nicht sagen weil noch nicht verbaut.

+  Schoner guss
+  Feine details

-  Preis?
