My friends, tonight we'll build the first German tank EVER, the A7V. This kit comes with a full interior, so it's gonna be a nice opportunity to try something new again!

The Tsar tank next pls. No just kidding. I’m so happy that your doing more WWI AFVs man. This is going to be a an epic sequel to your MKIV tank.

I am fortunate to have seen the interior of the only surviving A7V here in Queensland .It was moved to a railway refurbishment warehouse following severe flooding in Brisbane in 2011. Diggers from Queensland had captured it and were ordered by the British to "" hand it over at once for us to examine at our leisure ". Being the men they were who had captured it at great loss to themselves during the battle said Diggers thought "nah fark yers "and from the CO down organised for it to be sent back home. I have pics somewheres ,this is why physical media is so important because you cant delete it at a keystroke .

Ive never actually seen any pictures or anything of the interior of an a7v, it looks even more cramped than the mk4

@adorimable9690 2 года назад

Also, since you've been doing ww1 lately, could you do Meng's FT-17?

@tyler_bt3326 2 года назад

The MKIV is cramped but at least it had a somewhat logical layout for the time. Everyone was on the same level and could move around the vehicle without having to climb over machinery (with the exception of the rear driveshaft)

Mephisto is in the Brisbane Museum. Used to be outside and could play on it and in it when I was a kid. It was damaged in 2011 floods and went to the Queensland Rail Museum for repair/conservation. Following that it was revealed at the Australian War Museum and stayed for a little while before returning to Brisbane Museum in an indoor display.

@Kchildres 2 года назад

Very nice! For many years I used to use erasers to punch out the rivets onto but got tired of digging them out of the rubber. A few years agoni pick up a piece of rubber tire off the highway and cut it down to a 2x1in square and mounded it to a small board. The rubber tire accomplishes the same goal but is stiffer and doesn't let the tiny rivets sink in. And has the added benefit of being black so really small ones are easy to see.
