K010	Whippet Fast Tank	£ 58.33	£ 70.00

The Medium Mark-A Whippet was designed by Sir William Tritton duting 1917, and was known as the 'Tritton Chaser'. Over 200 were produced during 1917-1918, and were first used in action on 24th April 1917. With a weight of 14 tonnes, Whippet could manage a top speed of 8mph (Fast in it's day!).

Many captured Whippets were used by the Germans, and after the war Whippets were used by the British South Russia Tank Detachment, The Red Army and the Imperial Japanese Army.

This 1/35th scale resin and etched brass model is very simple to construct, and comes complete with opening door and top hatch, and optional track grousers. This model ws designed by Colin Knapp and was updated in 2005 to include full colour decals.

We aslo sell the New Vanguard (OSVAN083) on Armoured Units of the Russian Civil War which features Whippet.

K016	No-1 Lincoln Machine "Little Willie"	£ 58.33	£ 70.00

A 1/35th scale model kit of Little Willie (developed from the No-1 Lincoln Machine) in resin and etched brass by Tim Babb. The model depicts Little Willie as she looks today*. The completed model is 6.25"(16cm) long and 3"(7.6cm) wide and tall.

Construction of this "Landship" was started in August 1915 at William Foster & Co. Ltd in Lincoln and tested for the first time in September of the same year. In it's original "No-1 machine" form commercial track and suspension units were fitted, but were soon discarded in favour of a new British design which became the standard WW-1 plate track running on, and locked into, frames with no suspension.

Further trials continued into 1916 alongside a second far superior and larger machine, Centipede (AKA Big Willie, and eventually Mother), in which both machines performed very well, and concluded with a full scale demonstration on 8th February 1916 at Hatfield Park in front of the King. (We post this on the Accurate Armour web site 95 years later: 8th February 2011)

Following this great success the report sent to Winston Churchill described these Landships for the first time as TANKS. And the rest is history. Little Willie was the first machine of it's kind brought to trial which combined the layout, armour construction, track system and steering which we would recognise today as a TANK.

Mother went on to be developed into the familiar shaped machines which changed the face of mechanised warfare for ever, and Little Willie, stripped of the original dummy turret and the useless tail wheels now has pride of place in the RAC Tank Museum at Bovington.

*Note: This model depicts Little Willie as she is today but with the obvious damage to her "rapaired by us" to be kind to her image, we have now included a wee sheet of decals with the name for the vehicle sides.

K032	FV432 APC	£ 75.00	£ 90.00

The FV432 APC is the most numerous British Post War AFV, designed by GKN as a 'Battlefield taxi' for infantry, similar to, but better protected and mobile than the American M113. The basic APC nicknamed 'Trojan', was produced between 1963 and 1971 and can carry a full section of infantry in addition to the two man crew.

With the introduction of Warrior, the FV432 ceased to be used as an APC, but still serves in many units. many hundreds' served in the Gulf War of 1990-91 and many still serve today in all British Army theatres of operation.

This all resin 1/35th scale model by Jon Bottomley depicts a Mk-2 (Diesel engine) version. The model model features extensive internal detail, opening hatches & doors, tools and smaller fittings.

A simple to use etched brass fret for the delicate head-lamp guards and other fittings is also included, as is a comprehensive set of full colour decals with a variety of markings and registrations. Full colour printed instructions are included as standard.
