Meng 1/35 British Heavy Tank Mk.V Female Plastic Model Kit

The British Mk.V heavy tank (female) was an upgrade version of the Mk.IV tank. It kept the unique rhomboid shape of the Mark series of tanks, and it's also the last mass-production version. This vehicle was 8.05m long, 3.2m wide and weighed 28 tons. Thanks to the epicyclic gearbox, only one drier was needed to drive the new tank. The tank was powered by a 150hp Ricardo 6 cylinder in-line petrol engine, and could drive continuously for 10 hours. The Mk.V tank (female) was fitted with six Hotchkiss Mk.1 machine gunes. The female tanks were used to cooperate with Mk.V male tanks to suppress and kill enemy infantry. Mk.V tanks were first used in the Battle of Hamel in 1918, when they contributed to a successfull assualt by Australian units on the German lines.

This 1/35-scale British Heavy Tank Mk.V Female modelkit realistically replicates the tank's riveted rhomboid hull. Two kinds of trench-crossing devices are included; cement-free snap-fit workable links are easy to assemble; sponsons of the Mk.V female tank are precisely represented, and they can be built in the combat or transport option.

Length when assembled: 24.3cm; width: 9.4cm.
