1:72 Scale		Length		Width
Mark IV Tank		4.25"		2.25"

The Mark IV tank – first seeing combat duty in 1917 – was the most popular British tank of World War I with more than 1,200 units being produced. It benefited greatly from its Mark variant predecessors (some of the first tanks ever manufactured) and was a clear improvement in armor, fuel-tank placement, and overall ease of transport. The IV was equipped with .303 Lewis machine guns and a 6-pounder 57mm QG side-mounted gun on the male variant. Aside from the French Renault FT, the Mark series of tanks was considered the most successful of the entire war. This

1:72 scale, molded resin replica of the Mark IV includes numerous high-quality features such as textured surfaces, accurately reproduced weaponry including two six-pounders and one machine gun, realistic tracking, un-ditching beam, authentic British Army F56 "Flypaper" markings from 1917, and a removable display base. Measures approximately 4.5" long.

Why Resin?
It's very expensive to produce die-casting molds, and manufacturers must sell a large number of models from each mold in order to recoup development costs. Some subjects are so obscure that it's difficult to sell large quantities of them. Resin-casting is a much simpler and less expensive process, and manufacturers can use it to make limited runs of models that can't be cost effectively manufactured in diecast metal. With resin-cast models, collectors can add fascinating and unusual subjects to their collections without the time and difficulty of assembling and painting a model kit.
