Mk IV “Female” build – Part 1:Introduction

The vehicle

mk_IV_female_02_400

The “female” version of the Mk IV – armed with five Lewis machine guns – was actually the more numerous, seeing action from 1917 onwards [1].

The kit

takom_mk_iv_female_box_400

Takom 1/35 kit [2]. I’ve had this one a while, intended as a companion piece to the Mk IV “Male”. I’m slowly working my way through these archaic, but important, early tanks. The French ones are still to come.
