"V' Chem Dyelo?"Mk V (Composite)
WWI British Heavy Tankin Soviet 2nd Tank Unit,
11th (Caucasus) Army, 19211/72 Scale

The Mk V heavy tank was developed from the MkIV heavy tank.
The MkV closely resembled the MkIV outwardly. The most
noticeable change was in the rear cupola.
More access hatches were added to the rear , including a
rearward-firing MG, and a semaphore. The rails were installed at
the factory instead of in the field. By the end of the war, many ofthe MkV's were "hermaphrodites", with one male sponson and one
female sponson. I built the example model in this configuration.
The model includes both male sponsons and both female
sponsons. The MG's were usually Hotchkiss, but I included
Lewis MG's also.
MkV's were sent to Russia to bolster the Tsarist (White) Army in
it's losing struggle with the Bolsheviks (Red Army). Many of these
vehicles were captured by the Soviets and used for a time after
the end of the Revolution.
This model is of one of the tanks recovered by the Soviets. The
colors and markings are based on the Armada #14 book . Note
that these tanks seem to have not had unditching rails, parhaps
because trenches were not as common during the Russian
Revolution as they were on the Western Front.
I anglicize the motto on the front horns as "v' chem dyelo?", which
I ask our Russian friends to translate for me.
