3DP Mark IV Coming

[Xiaoshan_Sailor]

More 3DP WW1 subjects in the pipeline with news of a 1/16 Mark IV underway. No firm date yet on release but expect it will be available before Hooben's slated for June. Will an A7V, Whippet or St Chamond be far behind?

It is difficult for me to come to terms with how big a 1/16 version will be until I remember how impressive the sectioned Mk4 is at Bovington,
It really is immense and that should make internal space a doddle but I expect the price to be high,
Hopefully one major difference will be the reliability of the model over the original prototype
Xiaoshan_Sailor any idea of how long before we see it in the shops ?

Wow, I'd better start saving now.

Thanks for the heads up Mr Sailor

Great news. I bet it will be better than Hooben

Folks, this is a 3DP project that I came across on Facebook that will eventually be uploaded onto Cults. Have no idea on the timeline but he appears to be making good progress. You can follow Mr. Livingstone's work here:

Re Hooben, was told last week they'll finish this month so expect kits to be in the making from now on until The Second Coming... whichever comes first.

505mm if to 1/16 scale. I plan to scale mine up to 1/10 which translates to 805mm.

Just caught a preview of the drive he's working on so its coming along quite nicely.

Do you have a picture on hand? I'm curios how they solved it (easy)...

Here you go along with one of the sprocket & track.

Looks awesome but the cooling vents on the side of the hull would make this a mk v not a mk iv
