Popular know as the Holt one man tank, the only thing right from the
name is one man as it had a single driver but it was not build by Holt
nor was it ever designed as a tank, this wooden model of one of the British heavies Mark I-IV tanks was
build for the Red Cross as a funds raising gimmick build by a motorcycle
company in 1918 and later that year used by the Holt company as a sales
tool and there it got its name from. Of course magazines like Popular
Mechanics made up stories it was to be used to overwhelm the German
trenches with the cool cover art of a couple of these assaulting the
trenches.
This will be made for a group build with home front as theme, as Red cross funds raising tank it is perfect for the home front and its one of the tiny "tanks" I love to build so this will be my entry.
Copies will be made so if you like 1 for yourself please sent me a email at p.mondria@gmail.com
