Nice job Owl! I've read good reviews on the Masterbox British WWI tank kits, and you're doing your typical quality job here Yes

Didn't you build a Tamiya Walker Bulldog before? Am I thinking of someone else???

Looks good so far, looking forward to seeing some paint slapping on!

Oh, how cool. I was unaware that anyone other then Emher? did these guys in braille. I bought my buddy an A7V on a bargain table many years ago.

Hello Owl!

It's nice to see you building again! Good progress on this one. I like 1/72 vehicles a lot - wish you good luck and lots of fun with your tank - and have a nice day

Paweł

these are fun little builds. i have another Airfix male  in my stash and my Airfix female has done well at contests. bunt umber washes really look good on these and a nice muddy base, maybe a crater or two.

Looks like a nice little kit. Good to see we have a few WW1 tanks being built lately.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

the doog

I've got this on the "to do" list shortly..it looks like a great little gem!

Make sure you put it on a little plaque base in the mud! A perfect setting for a Mark II !

oh yeah, im planning giving this little guy a base

Nice !

I was unaware of that kit.

I hope the tracks are made of an easier to paint material than the old Airfix kit.

they are rubber, like what comes in the tamiya kits

OWL builds a Tank!?
Posted by CallSignOWL on Sunday, August 2, 2015 10:02 AM

An itty bitty one, but a tank none the less

picked this up at the local HobbyTown. the club is doing a WWI group build and I decited to something a little bit different. Im normally an aircraft modeller, so a tank kit will be a bit of a surprise! This is in 1/72 scale, so yes. tiny!

ok, the tank is tiny, so why are the instructions so big?! Like, really? They take up half my desk!

But it builds up quickly!

by bedtime, I was ready for paint
