I have built two of these nice little models one Western Front and Middle East version. Not very accurate but only to the purists :roll: .

They look very good Kev, with the First World War Centenary coming up next year there could be a good few examples of this kit being built in the next few years.

Nice pair of Great War bruisers there Anglian. This kit has had its fair share of criticism over the years - I think it is an amalgam of versions or something like that - but it looks the part to me.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Yes, I think the problem was the roof panel. As the kit was based on a Mk II, at the Bovington Tank Museum, which was displayed as a Mk I Male but with a Mk II roof. :roll:
