Courageous Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hi all, Started this build sometime ago, it's the Mk A 'Whippet' Tank of WW1 in 1/72 from Emhar. It was my first with an Emhar kit so didn't know what to expect but it what ever problems I had, I seem to have got round them with no problems. Like most of my AFV builds, I like to do something different with the subject and this was no different, so I decided to open the rear door. I put ammunition storage racks and a driver's position and short of you putting a small camera in there, you can't see bug*er all...why do I do it. It built up alright up alright, painted in 'dark earth', kit decals and weathered with a pin wash to bring out the rivets, a bit of pastel dust and some 'slop' in the mud shoots(?). Many whippets were fitted with 'canvas' track guards, so I made a pair from paper and added at the end. Knocked up a simple base and added some Emhar figures for scale. Thanks for looking Stuart 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I've seen these Emhar kits in my LHS but have never tried one out. Maybe worth a go. Anyway, a lovely model, well painted and set in an effective vignette. Nice work.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Emhar kits are bottom end but if it's your only choice, you can only get stuck in and be a modeller. 53 minutes ago, Planes123 said: Beautiful work on everything! Thanks Planes.
