Tamiya is delighted to announce its maiden foray into the world of WWI
models, in the year which marks the 100 th anniversary of the outbreak of
hostilities in what was then known as the Great War. The tanks which
appeared in the conflict were the first ever seen on the battlefield,
and were the forerunners of a whole line of military vehicles which is
still being developed further today. The Mk.IV tank was a successor to
the Mk.I, which was drawn up by British designers in attempt to break
the stalemate of trench warfare experienced on the Western Front the
rhombus-shaped hull was designed to aid in crossing the extensive
network of trenches. The Mk.I, first thrown into live action in
September 1916 during the Battle of the Somme, had male (fitted with
57 mm, 6-pound guns) and female (fitted only with machine guns) versions. Around 1,000 Mk.IV tanks were
manufactured after 1917, and they inherited their shape and male/female
weaponry and classifications from the Mk.I, but with significantly
upgraded armor. Around 400 were used en masse in the November 1917
Battle of Cambrai to great effect, and with the world cottoning on to
the new vehicles potential the maiden tank vs. tank battle was not far
behind: in 1918, the Mk.IV faced off against its German counterpart the AV7.
