AIRFIX WWI British Male Tank Mk.1 1:76 - A01315V
About the Tank:
On 15th September 1916 at Flers-Courcelette a new weapon appeared on the battlefields of the Western Front - the tank. The 'male' version carried two 6-pdr naval guns and 4 Hotchkiss machine guns.
The British Mark I was the first ever tank to see combat. 150 were built, divided into male and female types with 75 of each. Male tanks had sponsons, each one mounting a 57mm, six-pounder gun. Female tanks, on the other hand, each mounted two cumbersome sponsons, designed to carry two Vickers, water-cooled, heavy machine guns instead, with tiny escape doors at the back. Both had a wheeled tail assembly at the back which could be used for steering and as a counter-balance when going over a ridge or even additional support when crossing a wide trench.
Mark I tanks went into action for the first time on 15 September 1916 on the Somme.
