Tamiya Plastic Model Kit
Tamiya WWI British Mk IV Male Tank (1/35)
This 1/35 scale plastic model kit recreates the British Mk IV Male tank, a defining armoured vehicle of the First World War. Introduced in 1917, the Mk IV was an evolution of earlier British tank designs and played a pivotal role in breaking through heavily defended trench systems. The ‘Male’ version featured two 6-pounder guns mounted in side sponsons, complemented by machine guns for infantry suppression. With over 1,000 units built, the Mk IV saw extensive service in several major battles including the Third Battle of Ypres and the Battle of Cambrai.
