Takom 2025 1/35 WWI Medium Tank Mk A Whippet

Model Kit

One of the most innovative armored vehicles of the First World War, the Medium Tank Mk A “Whippet” was developed to complement the slower British heavy tanks by providing the speed and mobility needed to exploit breakthroughs in enemy lines. Introduced in 1918, the Whippet could reach speeds significantly greater than contemporary tanks, allowing it to perform reconnaissance, pursuit, and rapid attack missions that foreshadowed the mobile armored warfare doctrines of later decades. Its combat debut demonstrated the potential of fast armored vehicles, making it an important milestone in the evolution of tank design.

Takom’s 1/35 scale kit captures the unique shape and riveted construction of this pioneering vehicle with finely molded details and excellent historical accuracy.
