Hi, everyone!
Well, slowly but surely, I'm starting to settle into full-time casting; and as a result, I've managed to get this beauty, mastered by Tony Ashcroft, done up after months and months of it sitting on my workbench.

The Mk.I tank - which first saw action on 15 September 1916 at Flers-Courcelette during the Battle of the Somme, if my research is correct - comes in both the male and female versions. The steering tail is a separate feature, for those wishing to add that option.

Each model retails for $35.00 CAD, and the separate steering tail is $10.00 CAD.
All are available in our webstore on the Trains and WWI Vehicles page. They will also be available from our stockists.

I'm also considering listing the male and female sponsons separately, for those that would like more versatility without having to purchase two models.
The model is very easy to assemble, and will only take a few minutes of work to be ready to paint.
More great stuff on its way! Lots of masters from Tony Ashcroft, Mike Broadbent, Ian Crouch, and myself are in queue, plus more goodies to be released for the When the Navy Walked range, soon.
