WW1 Female Tank – Part One – Dollar Man

I was delighted to see Gary the Dollar Man turn up at a Men’s Shed day at our club. He had a box of kits to sell at remarkably low prices. As I had remarkably low funds that day I could only buy three, but one of them is this Emhar WW1 tank.

He did have both styles – the male and female, but I decided on this one as a trial run. I build few 1:76 or 1:76 vehicles, so it was bound to be an experimental experience.

Not a lot to the kit – and no box art to show for it – just a big ziplock bag. I had to snag an image off the net for this post. Heaven knows where the goods came from but I suspect just an old stash or op-shop. I am delighted with this style of frugal modelling, so I washed up the two sprue trees and looked at them carefully.

I have built Emhar kits before and found them excellent in a basic sort of way. As this consists of straight sides and 90º joins, I hope for the best. I suppose it will need weathering, but that should not be too hard on such a little subject.
