    Hi folks, for those interested, here's some information about the new Tamiya WW1 tank, scheduled release in July. It seems that it's designed as a motorised model...the image didn't come through, you will have to go to the Tamiya website the picture!

    New Item

    1/35 Scale Motorized Tank Series No.57

    WWI British Tank Mk.IV Male (w/Single Motor)
    Item No: 30057

    Length: 230mm. Image shows assembled and painted kit. *Enlarged image

    ★Tamiya is delighted to announce the release of its maiden WWI tank model, which depicts the British Mk.IV Male tank. ★The model includes a motor and gearbox to allow exciting forward running. ★The Mk.IV possessed a rhomboid form which was designed to enable it to pass over the extensive static trench networks which evolved during WWI. This form is accurately captured by the model.
    Utilizes durable and easy-to-assemble link type tracks.
    3 marking options included.

    The information on this page is current as of June 5, 2014. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

    Yeah, it looks good George but with a price tag of between £40 & £50 I can't see me indulging. They have a group of 1/35 WW1 British solider figures coming out as well...
