My first proper tank build (If this counts as a proper tank ), the 1/72 Emhar Whippet:







I wanted to do something for the 1918 centenary, and to be honest it was never going to be an aircraft (all that rigging!) so I finally put together this old Emhar kit that had been in the box room for five years or so - I originally bought it for a wargames project that came to nothing.

A nice little build - how it measures up for accuracy I can't say, but to me that looks like a Whippet so let others count rivets. Built over one night, painted on a second, I enjoyed it immensely and may add one of the Emhar Mk.IVs at some later date.

Nice work, I have always liked the Wippet it looks so much more modern than the earlier tanks.

Thats a little gem. The weathering is excellent.

Very nice work! I have the Meng 1/35 version to tackle this year and hope it will turn out as good!

You hit the mark with this one. Very sweet build.

Great work, and yes it counts as a tank (I just checked with some knowledgeable trackheads I know just in case)

I realise that it could qualify as an armoured tractor.

Nice job! Love the Whippet!

Great build, Rob and it's a proper tank alright, just as much as a Tiger or a Challenger in my book!

Whippet, good

CCR worked a clever Devo lyrics reference into his post. I deserved it.

Ah, them! I recognise the song but wouldn't have known the band name

Very nice looking Whippet. Two nights to complete! Man, you're fast.
