Anyone seen Emhar Models in Singapore before?? Any other models that make these tanks are fine too.
I'm looking for the British MKiv WW1 tanks.
Hope you guys can help if you see any of them.
Cheers,
Danial

Hahaha... i'm just looking for this MKIV. They have caterpillar tracks around sides of their tanks. Very interesting to build one. But I don't think I'll be able to find one here...

Well Danial.. I believe that was the first tank built. It scared the hell out of those Germans during WW1. Supposedly one of the best still..

[quote]Erm Psyfool.. I don't know which tank you're refering to.. the one I have in mind is the British.. /quote]

I'm not too well versed w/ WW1 tanks, but i saw a tank similar looking to wat u showed with a German Cross..It's steering is very funny looking at the tail end..Look like wagon wheels..Probably captured Brit tanks..The name 'Tanks' came about by the brits. The 'tank' was top secret at the time and they told the world that it's actually a 'water tank'...Hence Tanks!

Danial, no turrets...The guns come out from the sides of the hull and infront...

I think what you've seen is a captured tank Psyfool...

The actual tank that the Germans created is god ugly..totally unlike their WW2 counterparts. Looks more like a moving box! It also releases poisonous smoke inside the tank from it's exhausts... That's why the crew have to wear gas masks and they prefer sitting on top of it!

:-) :-) :-)

The A7V

Even got an interior shot on it. Go to the site and look out for A7V, that's what the Germans called that tank.

haha... what a tank. I think one a soldier just throw a grenade on it and it'll burst into flames..

Oh.. anyway.. I went to Morgan Hobby (Katong SC).. the shop can be considered one of Singapore's hobby shop that have some super old kits. Asked the woman if she has any WW1 tanks.. she don't.. oh well.. I think i'll have to forgo this tank (doubt i'll find one in Sg anyway).

Heh.. I got the Tamiya Military Police set instead.. I'm planning to join the MP Campaign.
