Beutepanzer - Warlord Games British Mark IV Tank in German Service

Finished painting the Warlord Game British Mark IV tank - work was interrupted while I worked on the Perry Napoleonic Russian Infantry.

As mentioned in a previous post, this is a very nice kit that goes together well. I couldn't tell you how many rivets there are, but there's a lot of them. Here it is next to a Wargames Atlantic figure for size comparaison.
Above image shows the Mark IV next to the Warlord Games Renault FT-17 posted earlier. Quite a substantial size difference - and being from the same maker (Warlord Games), it should be "scaled" correctly
Another view next to the Renault for comparison. The Mark IV kit is mostly resin with only a few metal parts. The guns, exhaust pipe, top rails and the wood beam are metal parts.
And another comparison shot - this time with an Old Glory A7V. For the record, I used decals for the crosses on the Mark IV - which were a major pain as they were very fragile and kept breaking apart when I tried to apply them on. Thankfully, there were enough "extras" that I was finally able to get them all on. In the end it was worth it, as I didn't want to try and paint the crosses on by hand - which I did for the A7V (only 2 crosses there).

Anyway, thanks again for dropping by. Just wanted to post this as this tank was in the works prior to the Perry Napoleonic Russians. In fact, I have another tank which I was working on prior to the Russians - the Hobby Boss KV-75/76 - to finish too. Until next time, wishing you all the very best in health and hobby endeavors!

    Impressive paintwork in the Mark IV, Dean. The size comparison Ethernet it and the Renault is amazing.

      Thanks, Jonathan. Yes, the size difference us quite remarkable. Hard to believe a two man crew could fit in the Renault. Warmest regards, Dean

      Thank you very much! So far, I don't have any WW1 British, so figured I'd add it to the few German Wargames Atlantic guys I have. Warm regards, Dean

    You have done another lovely paint job on the latest "Panzer" Dean, I think the scale would be right - the FT17 is a very small tank indeed!

      Thank you very much! Yes, I saw one (or a replica) at the Tank Museum in Bovington several years ago - it did appear huge. Warmest regards, Dean

    Impressive. Love the look of the tank. The crosses look very well the same as the camouflage.

    Superb looking tank(s) Dean! I have a A7V and an Mark IV sitting in my drawer as well. Waiting for the day when I finally come round to doing the German Civil War.
