Mk.II Male

 

Scale: 1/72

 

Kit Producer: Airfix

 

This is Airfix's kit converted to depicts a Mk.II male named Lusitania, numbered 788, C.47 from C battalion, as used in Arras, France, in May 1917. The conversion was done with the help of the articles in Landship. The model was painted with Tamiya colours and weathered with oils and pastels. The base was made of plaster, scribed with a needle, painted with Tamiya colours and weathered with oils and pastels too. The Airfix offering is still a good kit after 30 years, very good value for your money, and there are plenty of conversions commercially available . The only problem I found was the tracks being short, the rest can be fixed.
