WWI Male Tank Mk.I
Somme Offensive, 1916

A nice Airfix kit, this is a quick build with good fit all around. I left off the steering mechanism (large wheels) at the rear as they were often removed and proved ineffective. I made some fixes along the way such as adding gun sight slits to the turrets and changing the exhausts to be more appropriate for the Mk1. I used Tamiya paints and mostly Mig products to weather the vehicle. I created a base from some packing foam covered with spackle. The base was painted with Tamiya paints and Mig pigments and I carved up some soldiers to get the equipment/helmets around the base.
