MK I - V Tank in 1/48 scale?

[Nocoolname]

Hi Folks!

 

Does anyone know if there's a 1/48 version of any of the British tanks (MK I - V) available? I've seen the 1/35 (a little to big) and the 1/76 (my eye's would struggle) but not a 1/48. Any help most appreciated.

If you specifically want 1/48, then I'm afraid that finding any WW1 tank in that scale will be nigh impossible, short of scratch-building one. The closest thing I can think of is 1/56 or 28mm if your willing to go for something a tad smaller. Try here for some ideas:

Hope this helps.

If you are up to scratch building them, and there aren't too many fiddly bits on early tanks, you could try the paper Mk1 model from the WoT Russian site Here as a starting point. It says 1/50 scale, close enough?

There's plenty available if you know where to look. Here's a link to Gaso.line's homepage:

and specifically:

There's a few British items here and it's quite good fun having a look through.

Cheers folks!

 

I wanted to avoid scratch building after my experience with the Eagle Transporter which went waaaayyy OTT. I was seriously considering the gaso-line kits but then accidentally stumbled upon Mike's review of the 1/35 Meng kit of the MK V Male and just had to have it.
