Description: Emhar Mk IV Tadpole WWI Tank with Rear Mortar To thwart the new British Mk IV Male and Female tanks the Germans dug wider trenches. In 1917 trial modifications to improve trench crossing ability began. The 'tadpole tail' extended the rear of the tank by about nine feet. Angle iron cross-braces were fixed between the 'tails' to improve rigidity. On one experimental version these provided support for a steel plate on which a forward firing Stokes mortar was placed. Many Tadpoles were planned. Initial conversion trials were carried out in England and tail assemblies were sent to France. Problems with the conversion were not overcome by the end of the war and Tadpoles were not used in action. No markings are known (hence no decals are included in the kit). Tadpoles did not have de-ditching rails and the exhaust was shortened. Deluxe Materials Plastic Magic Cement 40ml (AD83) Plastic Magic Cement is a thin, liquid plastic cement with a 10-15 sec adjustment time & non-clog action. It is non-toxic, non-flammable, has minimal odour and almost zero emissions when compared to competitors.

Review: It's a really old style kit. Plastics are thick, Gaps and fit is pretty poor. Instructions and bad. For the price it's not bad, but the same brand has models £50 plus. I'll stay away from this brand from now on...
