Takom presents a new model of the Mark IV tank, which can be built as either Male or Female variants.
The kit comes with photo etch details and workable wheels, plus decals for four decorations. But the main point is that it allows to build the Male or Female models, which differed on the armament with the Male having a QF 6 pdr 6 cwt and 3 machine guns.

MARIECHEN was a female tank armed with German MG (those on the cover are British Lewis). The box art is a copy of o model built by a russian modeller, in my opinion decals are not of the correct shape. Hera a picture of the real tank LINK

I like that they give you the choice of male or female in one kit. Saves you the money from buying one of each to get a male and female. that is unless you wNt one male and one female!!

Always thought that these WWI tanks were a howl and the paint schemes on both sides fascinating & challenging. Perhaps as a change of pace from Shermans and Panthers...

Takom's original releases of the Mk.IV Male & Mk.IV Female had individual track links, and each link was a multi-part affair. This turned off some (myself included) from building either kit. Modelers complained, and Takom listened, releasing a set of one-piece links. These were included in their Mk.IV Hermaphrodite kit. I would like to think that this kit contains those same one-piece track links, rather than the original multi-piece ones. Which would make this kit more attractive to those who were turned off by the work involved in assembling the original tracks. As a side note, except for one six-pounder barrel, the Hermaphrodite kit contained all of the parts necessary to build any of the three versions. Takom could have marketed that kit as a "3-in-1" if they had included the second barrel. Al

i agree the original multi piece tracks where awful, but the new click tracks are really nice. all of the new kits from takom have them, i would assume that this one has the click tracks. Takom learned their lesson and listened to us consumers!
