What an outstanding result, Louis! I hope for your sake that you never have to build a riveted or bolted tank ever again, but they add so much depth and texture to what would otherwise be a featureless, slab-sided design. Worth the effort, well done!

Louis, your A7V is stunning! I am sending the links to the build and show off threads to a championship modeler, as I know he will appreciate such remarkable workmanship.

What a lovely build!

Hooben has plans to release a kit sometime in 2023 to follow on the heels of their Mark IV.
