Learning to drive. A small conversion from the Mk.IV Female kit from Emhar.
|
|
The side plates of the sponson's weren't split on the Mk.III as they were on the Mk.IV so I had to fill the "panel line".
Also there was a single row of rivets on the top of the sponson instead of the double row on the Mk.IV. Of course I had to mess up this build too. Looking at the pictures I can see that I managed to mount one sponson upside down. |
| The rivets on the top of the driver's cab differ. On the Mk.III there are two rivets close together at the end. I noticed on a picture that this is also at the back. I am not happy with how the rivets came out. I will redo them. |
| The fuel tank of the Mk.IV had to go. This mean that there will be rivets missing. I decided to remove the rest of the rivets and add new from a sheet of rivets from Archer. The Mk.III was training tanks made of mild steel and remained in the UK. They were mostly unarmed while drive training. |
| With all of the machine guns deleted I had to alter the attachment points for them. |
| The sponson that I managed to mount upside down has its direction changed and the injuries it got while doing this has been repaired. |
| Triangles has been made for the exhaust ports |
| Paint is on |
| so I am declaring it finished. |
| I brought out a Mk.IV Female from Emhar and started adding plastic strips to it. Royal Navy used one Mk.IV tank to tow airships. |
| (Model finished 2020) |
|
A part of the airship would be nice but I don't know how to attach it and getting the tank built is a challenge enough. But I have finished the tower. |
| I was inspired by a 1/35 scale build. It had a long crank running up to the top of the turret but I can't see a use for a crank. I suspect it is a sort of pole to lift the schackle when the airship is connecting to it and as I can't find good pictures of it I've improvised. |
| I learned that the Female Mk.IV had a double row of rivets at the top of the sponsons I added that with an incorrect pattern. I'm also adding rivets to the sponson roof. I am trying Archer Fine Transfers for this for the first time. |
| I have decided to call it finished. |
| As I said, a piece of an airship attached to it would have been nice. |
| I added a sailor from the Matchbox flower class corvette to show it is a Navy tank . |
