I have been in communication with Alexander Surzhenko, the director of Master Box Ltd, and there is more good news to come. :)

"Master Box has stated that these two tanks are only the beginning of a series of kits that will be devoted to World War 1." - Armorama, 19 Oct 2013

hopefully they are also thinking about us who model in 1/35. Obviously the figures planned are a start but some military vehicles would be welcome.

I just went to the Master Box web site and there are 4 more kits planned. Mk II Male and Female tanks with track spuds and Mk I Male and Female tanks with Special Gaza equipment. This is the address for the page .http://www.mbltd.info/proces_vehicles72.htm This will be great as I always wanted to do Sir Archibald with the equipment to remove the sponson.

Just when I thought the only use for the Airfix kits was to turn them into Mark II; now they are completely redundant! (And I have a ton of them!)

The only problem I can see (just with a quick glance) is that the grousers at the rear are bent instead of flat. Actually, overall the grousers don't look as good as the rest of the model; hopefully it's just a trick caused by the choice of�veiwing angle�for the photos.

Seems to me they've got the cab correct; looks narrower, with the outermost two rivets closer together than the others.

Well spotted plastic fan. Thanks.

BRILLIANT news! This is very exciting - like PDA all my Airfix Mk II modifications are now useless! The Gaza option is very interesting and glad to see other theatres are considered

At long last well done MB wink

The track grousers do look a little under size however this is just a photo and going by Master Boxes reputation I would say they are correct but I will wait until I can see a part sprue first. Either way we FINALLY have a good Mk I and II in time for the 100th anniversary of the Great War. Good job Master Box!
