Einar Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Mk A Whippet was a British WWI medium tank that was taken into use in March 1918. The tank weighed 14 tonnes and had a crew of three men. Its armour was 14 mmm thick, it had 4 machine guns and the top speed of the tank reached 13 km/h. The Whippet was probably the most successful British tank of the Great War causing a lot of casualties among the German troops. For instance on June 8, 1918 in the attack of Amiens the Whippets broke through the German lines causing the Germans to lose their artillery and letting the allied forces surge through. I made my model from an Emhar kit that in my opinion was quite ok as to the fit of the parts and cleanliness of the molding. In the construction of the model I used various pictures and other sources on the net that I found of the Whippet . 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
