World War I, a time when battle tank manufacturing was in its absolute infancy, offers us but a glimpse of the powerful, versatile, and lethal armored vehicle technology that would rapidly progress before the outbreak of World War II. Among these earliest designs was the British-built Mk. A "Whippet" - a medium tank developed to complement the heavier, slower tanks already in service with the Army. It first saw combat action in March of 1918, proving very effective at covering infantry withdrawals during the Spring Offensive.
Designed as a smaller and faster tank to support existing heavy tanks, the Mark A first entered service in 1917. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
The Panzerkampf 1:100 scale Mark A Whippet recreates one of Britain's most distinctive World War I tanks. Unlike later tanks, the Whippet had no rotating turret, instead using a fixed rear fighting compartment with Hotchkiss machine guns positioned to provide fire in multiple directions. The model captures the unusual long forward engine compartment, riveted armor construction, exposed track system and compact rear crew compartment. Plastic construction is complemented by detailed machine guns, vision ports, access panels, engine vents, exhausts, tracks and running gear. Its unusual layout and early armored vehicle engineering make the Whippet a distinctive addition to a World War I armor collection.
