Administrators Fran Posted February 7 Administrators Share Posted February 7 Hi Neil. You got some WWI tanks from Takom i n135 (also a Mark Iv from Tamiya) As far for armour car, just check Copper State Models as they have several armour cars in there catalogue and are very very good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They offer two vesions. As Fran said Copper State Models has a bunch of great armored car models from WWI. Takom has a whippet, (Meng also), Mk1, Mk IV, and Mk V tanks, also the St. Chamond (early/late). Takom has a 1/16 Renault ft in cannon and mg variants... Please note that the ammo drums in the mg variant are for the wrong gun! They are for a later machine gun, the Reibel,..don't install the racks. Hobby Boss has their own St. Chamond tanks as well as Shneider CA tanks. Meng also has 1/35 Ft models. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial Takom MK IV tracks were awful multi-piece nightmares. Later, they offered replacement one-piece snap together tracks that are very good. In later boxings these are included. Their two-in-one MkIV Male/female kit has these, their Mk I kits, their Mk V kit, and their Tadpole Mk IV also have the snap tracks. I was lucky to find a couple of these track sets that I can use on the earlier releases. The Takom Whippet also has good snap-together tracks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
