Tamiya 30057 - 1/35 British Tank Mark IV Male (with Single Motor) Motorized Tank w/WWI British Infantry Set  [30057]

This might be Tamiya's first type of a WWI tank subject. This release celebrates the 100th anniversary for the outbreak of hostilities in that which was then known while the Great War. The tanks which starred in the conflict had been the very first ever seen on battlefield, and were the forerunners of a complete type of army automobiles which is still being developed further today. The Mk.IV tank was a successor toward Mk.I, which was used by Uk designers in attempt to break the stalemate of trench warfare skilled on the Western Front; the rhombus-shaped hull had been designed to help with crossing the substantial network of trenches. The Mk.I, first tossed into real time action in September 1916 throughout the Battle of the Somme, had male (fitted with 57mm, 6-pound weapons) and female (fitted just with machine weapons) variations. Around 1,000 Mk.IV tanks were manufactured after 1917, and they inherited their shape and male/female weaponry and classifications from Mk.I, but with significantly upgraded armor. Around 400 had been utilized massively within the November 1917 Battle of Cambrai to great impact, and with the world accepting the new vehicle's possible the maiden tank vs. tank battle had not been far behind: in 1918, the Mk.IV faced down against its German counterpart the AV7. The Tamiya model is highly accurate as substantial research regarding the tank had been carried out during the Tank Museum in Bovington, England.
