Next small scale model.
Wayne McCullough's Mark V. This is rescaled from the original 1:72 to 1:50.
I intend to build it without the unditching beam rails since the Russian Mark Vs didn't seem to have these. The tank model is a hermaphrodite (composite) with
a male(6 Pdr gun) and female(MG) sponson. All the surviving Mark Vs in Russia - there are about 5 of these - are all hermaphrodites.
The Mark Vs were sent to Russia after WW1 to support the White Army. After the Whites lost the useable tanks were taken on strength by the Red Army and remained in service during the 1920s. Wayne says that this model represents a tank of 2nd Tank Unit, 11th (Caucasus) Army, 1921.
The image is from Wayne's model distribution.
