Tamiya WW1 British Tank Mk.IV Male - Motorised Version

A Game Changer

During WWI, much of Western Europe was reduced to a massive battlefield crisscrossed by a seemingly unending network of trenches. The original British Mk. I tank was developed to break the deadlock; the Mk.IV was a later model based on many of the same design principles, and around 1,000 were produced starting in March 1917. A "Male" variant was developed to smash through enemy lines and in addition to machine guns it utilized large 6-pounder guns, in contrast to the separate Female variant equipped with only machine guns for armament. The Mk.IV saw a variety of action, including a mass deployment of around 400 at the Battle of Cambrai in November 1917, additionally prevailing in the world's first tank-on-tank battle with the German A7V in April 1918.
