WWI Heavy Battle Tank Mark V - Takom 1/35 - Showcase
I should make a confession here. I have traditionally never really had much of an interest in WW1 subjects. That said, when I got the opportunity to build the Male Mk.IV I really enjoyed it, and have had a great deal of success with the model. So much so that I went on to build the Female Mk.IV and managed some really nice results with that model too.
When I saw this release of the Mk.V, I wasn’t overly interested as I felt I had ticked that box, but then something interesting happened. I took a look at some of the colour schemes that accompanied this tank and my interest was aroused once more. Some of them were very different and very interesting, and one in particular, (I am sure you know which one I am talking about by now), really got me excited, and scared all at the same time.
For people who have any interest in the machinery of the Great War, then this kit will come as a welcome addition to the collection, but more than that, this kit should really appeal to anyone looking for something a little different.
