Takom MkIV Female as a Beute


Recommended Posts

Evening all

A most enjoyable and for me rapid (5 week) build once I'd devised a way to get round the tedium of trying and failing to assemble the tracks per the instructions (see 'work in progress' for the bodge).

The other bodge was that my ageing hand eye coordination made a mess of assembling the chain to the unditching beam, hence the ends are now safely buried under the spuds :-(

To anyone building either of the Mk1Vs as a Beute or even just interested in their use by the Germans I unreservedly recommend the 2 Tankograd books on the Beute Tanks. Very interesting and detailed text and superb photos. I liked the 2 books so much that I've now bought the equally excellent Tankograd on the A7V in the hope that someone will issue a better kit than the old Tauro.

I've enjoyed this one so much that I've already started my Takom MkIV Male that may also end up as a Beute.
