Thanks to a fortuitous set of circumstances, I was able to spend the time I needed to bring two more models over the finish line this month. These two span the years from WWI to (relatively) modern times. First up is my 1/72 scale Master Box WWI Mk. IV female "H.M.L.S Tiger" adapted for the Gaza Strip:    Next is my 1/72 scale ACE Israeli Nagmasho't Heavy APC:    That's all so far since I've been trying to concentrate on my An-124 lately. I hope you enjoy this short parade. I may have one more model brought over the finish line soon; possibly this month. If not, it'll definitely be done at the beginning of next month. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome. |

Great job Mark. They both look really good. I especially like the WWI female. Thank you for the explanation too. At least I now know you don't flip them over to see if they're male or female  |

I'm sure you're kidding Bruce.
For anyone who doesn't know, as I didn't, from what I understand the male tanks have canons in the front and rear machine guns. Females have machine guns front and rear.

Your question would be a male tank as per my description above. I think you meant to ask what would it be if it had machine guns in the front and canons in the rear. That I can't answer  |

The Mark IV tank came in two varieties: the 'male' was armed with two 6-pdr. Hotchkiss QF 57 mm naval guns and four Lewis guns, its 'female' consort had six Lewis guns . . . The 'male' version weighed 32 tons, whilst the 'female' weighed 28 tons.
