About product

The German A7V assault vehicle in 1:35 scale

The kit captures the Sturmpanzerwagen A7V, the only German tank of the First World War to be built in series, in the version with the death's head marking. The tooling comes from the Italian brand Tauro Model and it is a classic injection-molded plastic kit for collectors of the vehicles of 1917 and 1918.

The real subject and its combat career

The A7V came about as the German answer to the British and French tanks. On a chassis derived from an artillery tractor stood a tall armored box with a 5.7 cm gun in the nose of the hull and machine guns spread around its sides. The crew numbered almost twenty men, an extraordinary figure even for the time. Only a few dozen of the vehicles were built, yet they went down in history: on April 24, 1918 at Villers-Bretonneux the A7V clashed with British Mark IV tanks in the first fight of armor against armor.

Building recommendation

The tall flat sides call for careful cleaning of the joints so that the mold seam does not show. Assemble and paint the running gear before you close the box up. A matte base suits the surface, followed by a dark wash into the riveted divisions and finally dust pigments on the lower hull, because these vehicles moved through the mud of the Western Front.

Who we recommend the kit to

  • to collectors of armored vehicles of the First World War
  • to modelers who want an unusual piece beside the usual tanks of the Second World War
  • to builders of dioramas on the theme of the Western Front
  • to more experienced builders who do not mind an older tooling

The vehicle comes in the box as unassembled plastic parts without a finish. Paints, glue and other accessories are not enclosed with it, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. You get plastic parts on sprues, which are cut off, glued and painted. Glue and paints are not enclosed.

It is an older tooling, so expect to fill the joints and to work on the fit. A complete beginner will find it hard going, while a modeler with a few tanks behind him will manage without trouble.

The British rhomboid tanks had their tracks running around the whole outline of the vehicle. The A7V, by contrast, had a low running gear hidden under a tall armored box and its main weapon in the nose.
