Here is a unique artwork and would make a perfect gift item.
Our Airfix model inspired box framed deconstructed tank. The tank is cut, painted and mounted on an image of the same tank in action in WW1.
The "Male" tank was a category of tank prevalent in the First World War. As opposed to the five machine guns of the female version of the Mark 1 tank, the male version of the Mark I had a QF 6 pounder 6 cwt Hotchkiss and three machine guns. Ernest Swinton, instrumental in developing the British tank and co-creator of the term "tank" (originally a code word), is credited with inventing these gender-related terms, thinking that the best tank tactics would have the two types attacking in consort.
The size is 33cm x 33cm and comes in a white wooden frame.
