Mk. A Whippet

Takom 1/35

I've just finished this, Takom's new Whippet. It's finished as A322, one of the Whippets supplied to the White army during the Russian civil war, then captured by the Reds in 1920 and put into service with the 1st Tank Detachment in Ekaterinodar, before seeing action against Polish positions at Stolpshch.

It's a lovely kit with very nice surface detail and great parts fit. No interior which is a shame as the rear door can be posed open. It'll be interesting to see how it stacks up against the Meng version when it's released. I suspect the Meng one might have the edge and might well be slightly cheaper.

Beautifully done again Andy, and a welcome update to the old Emhar kit, although I still enjoyed wrestling with it. Love the build and painting logs you gave us access to. :goodjob::thumbsup:

Thanks for sharing

Thanks everyone

Meng kit is nearly half the price of the Takom kit

Meng always seem to be cheaper than their rivals. I wish Trumpeter would get closer to Meng's prices. Some of their newer stuff is just too expensive for what you get
