Meng Models British Heavy Tank Mk.V Male
Modelled by
David Parker
When Meng released the Mark V with its fully detailed interior I
pondered on how best to build the kit and show off all the
fabulous internal detail. Even with every hatch open there would
be a limited view of the inside and I considered those well known
images of disemboweled blown up vehicle on the battlefield. In
2
the process of searching for images I came across pictures of
these tanks on factory assembly lines. The pictures showed rows
of vehicles all apparently painted but with their hull roofs and
sponsons yet to be fitted allowing an unrestricted view into the
vehicle. Another image showed tanks with separate sponsons
standing in rows. I immediately saw the potential of replicating
the assembly line to allow the interior to be viewed in the best
possible way as well as offering the potential to show different
finishes, but first the Mark V needed to be assembled!
