Great build! I made mine a few years back, it's so big it takes up a lot of space in the display case..

[@columbusmodels825]

Yea that's one thing I didn't realize till after I started building it, just means I have more reason to build more display shelves in the house.

[@MonkeeSpankz]

constructive feedback on the captions. I would have preferred them much, much smaller

[@columbusmodels825]

Yea I agree, I made them smaller in the base video. Still learning what works and what doesn't. Hope you enjoyed the build tho.

[@ChristianSchroter]

Nice job. Do you still have the spare parts from this kit? I think the sprues offer grouser spuds for the tracks, but they do not use them in the instructions. I would be willing to buy them from you.

[@cchristner]

Well done. Y'know that mortar looks like the result of somebody with rank's bright idea that was never thought through. I looks like they had to point the entire tank so as to fire the mortar in any direction but straight ahead! Brilliant! They should have made it so it could pivot.

[@petergowans49]

The troops who had to fire it must have had a good time

[@Ghost12042]

I have this same kit I had for years never got around to do it

[@glennvogt1194]

Fine piece of work. Well done.

[@GregReilly135ScaleModels]

Nicely done sir these old WW1 tanks are perfect for weathering you did a fantastic job with your build just subscribed

[@columbusmodels825]

Thanks, it is my first WW1 tank but after building this one it definitely won't be my last. Glad you enjoyed it ☺️.

[@StephenLyons-tl8ie]

Top job!!

[@petergowans49]

I saw two doors on the model...could they be opened?

[@columbusmodels825]

Yep, if you were making it so you could see inside the gun bays then you can build it with them open.

[@Barry-tr8cb]

Bro, the back of the mark 5 does not look like that

[@columbusmodels825]

How do you mean?

[@garyginn9862]

This is an awesome build! It almost would make a nice rainy weekend build if it weren't for the number of road wheels. Great build, as usual!

[@scalestuff1066]

I really like the mud effects on the tracks of this tank great work

[@yogyyy7594]

Very nice looking model!

[@columbusmodels825]

Thanks 😊

[@FlokisModels]

Great job on the tadpole! I really like how the mud turned out on this. Looking forward to seeing your video on the base.

[@columbusmodels825]
