This simple tank is part of Rigby's "Modern Marvels" series of models that appeared in the Sunday Comics section of American newspapers back in the day. This one is dated December 22, 1940. cdavenport's 3 page PDF scan of the kit is available in the download section of the forum. In addition to the tank, the file includes a rail gun and a light cruiser.
It provides a fun, nostalgic afternoon build. It's a good introductory paper model for a child who might like the bright colors - the Ringling Brothers were obviously the originators of the camouflage pattern :rolleyes:. The wheels are laminated to 1mm cardboard, and the axles are cut from full diameter Q-tip shafts. The machine guns are made from the inner core of the same shafts. I almost corrected the upside down roundels, but then I decided to just build the model as designed.
