That's a very imaginative and excellent build - Well Done !!!

Thanks iggie, Tim, Nigel, John, these simple kits do build up very well and look very effective, it just proves that you don't need a shed load of parts to make a convincing model and with a little stowage etc. they would look even better. I am going to use this kit for a number of conversions this year.

That's very nice work, I like that a lot!. Some serious track action there!!.

[Dazzled]

Excellent work David. It's a really imaginative way to finish the kit.

[VickersVandal]

That is very very cool. I agree with the others - such a great idea for a finish!

Thanks Mark, Dazzled, VV. Deciding on how best to build this did take a little thought as, as far as is known it did not go into service although "a number" of tail conversion kits did go to France. I found this image on the IWM website, taken in spring 1918 at the massive Central workshops complex at Teneur, Pas-De-Calais

After checking the Landships II site for details of the Renault tanks I also visited the pages for the other surviving rhomboids for future builds. I now realise that one of the parts supplied with the mortar sprue is actually the upper rear armour plate missing from the normal mark 4 kits so this has been fitted along with a plastic card lower armour panel.
