Mk.I Male tank in Gaza


As the Airfix Mk.I is in 1/76 scale and a mix of the Mk.I and Mk.II making it hard to build a Mk.I I was glad when Master Box released their 1/72 kits.
(Model finished 2022)



I started with the Gaza versions as a single brown colour was easy to paint.




It is funny that both this and a 1/35 scale kit of Gaza tanks has the jib on the roof. What I learned is that it isn't a part of a Gaza modification. It is a jib that mounts when the side sponsons are lifted on or off the tank.




So I decided to paint the jibs in a different colour. Kit built out of the box.


Mk.I Female tank in Gaza


As my Airfix Female conversion turned out to be wrong I built another using the Master Box kit.
(Model finished 2022)



No multi colour camouflage wanted so the Gaza version was built.




But as the jib was only used in maintenance, I decided to skip it on this build. But it is strange that I have seen pictures of tanks in Gaza running with the jibs mounted.
