WWI Mk.I Male Heavy Battle Tank (2-in-1) 1/35 Takom Models

 

The Mk.I tanks were evenly divided into two sexes depending on the armament. The male was armed with two 6-pounder guns and three 8mm Hotchkiss machine guns. They first entered service in 1916 and saw action a month later as part of the Somme offensive. Many tanks broke down or got bogged down, and most were captured by the Germans. After a few brief interim variants of Mk.II and Mk.III, the Mk.I was ultimately succeeded by the very similar Mk.IV in 1917.

Please see the paint guide below for the manufacturer’s recommended colors. Takom recommends Ammo of Mig Jimenez paint for this kit, and you can find them all by clicking each color below.
