I have always been fascinated by the first tanks, that was introduces in VWI and when I found the Takom kit, I had to build it. I finished it some years ago, and made a small diorama scene using it a the main subject.
A little detail: the sides of the diorama are “decorated” by prints of aerial photos of the actual war zone.

What a coincidence!, I actually just finished this! What color did you paint it? I had been looking and researching for a color. Also if you could share some weathering and rusting tips that would be great!

Hi Gavin, Sorry, but I can’t remember which colours I used. Most likely it was the old Humbrol enamel type (matt) in metal tins - at least for the weathering.
Make a Google search: British mk1 tank colours
