Tamiya Mark 4 WWI tank

[wds]

It looks like the folks at Tamiya are set to best (not very difficult) the Emhar offering.

Very expensive. I wish that that they would just release a static model. The workable tracks look cool.

Thanks for sharing,Bill!

Expensive,yes....but interesting for sure.
These WW1 British infantry figures are also interesting.

Well, let's wait for the Takom Female Mk IV to compare.

So now we have some real Male and Female options :evil:

Remember Tamiya's list prices are usually around twice the retail.

Their 1/16 RC JS-2 lists for $2024 and generally retails around $800-900.

The kit looks cool, but I can't tell if it's rubber band tracks or indies.

They are factory cleaned snap fit individual links which articulate.

Add/Edit:

I just got through looking at all of the pictures of the sprues at hyperscale/missing link.
That looks great. I have to have one.
I'm sure the Emhar one that I have is going in the trash.
Hey Saul, any news on whether there will be a release of the Tadpole or Whippet?

If I knew, I wouldn't be able to disclose it until they are ready...

Wait for the Takom kit, full interior instead of a motor. Maybe worth it?

Cool Stuff...

So glad I work on cheap 1/48 airplanes
