WWI British Mark IV Tank

The British Mark IV tank was first used at the battle of Messines Ridge, Belgium, in 1917. The tank was eight meters long, 4.12 meters wide and weighed 28 tons. It carried a crew of eight and was powered by a Daimler-Foster, 6-cylinder in-line sleeve valve 16 litre petrol engine which developed 105 bhp at 1,000 rpm. Six different manufacturers were contracted to build a total of 1,220 units. Interestingly, captured Mark IV’s were repainted and used by the German army during the war. The tank came in male and female version; the difference being in the armament. This model was made and rendered in Blender.
