This was awaiting fiddly parts and priming back in May. It was the third and last of my Great War armor, having previously posted Takom’s Mk.I and Renault FT. All firsts in their own way, MkI; first vehicle to be called a tank, Renaut; first armor used by U.S., A7V; first German tank. Anywho, I tanked on it until last week when,assisted by forced drying, I banged it out. The decals were problematic, I lost two trying to release them from the backing,it took a 30-40 second bath in very warm water to get the rest to release but once placed they couldn’t be moved without fracturing. Placement was a crapshoot. Customary apologies for the pics that follow.
Very nicely done, though I admit I clicked on the thread on the off chance you had built a Leopard 2 A7V. I think the Krauss Maffei folks trolled the world when they named that tank.
Appreciate the view and comment,mistaken or not. I believe this name came from the ALLEGMEINES KRIEGSDEPARTEMENT, ABTEILUNG 7. General War Department,Section 7,Transport.
Thanks Gamera, the camo schemes didn’t variate much country to country and none of them lasted long under their enviroment due to the paint formula at the time.
