I'm looking for a MK IV as well...here in the U.S. At the same time, I'm thinking about kit-bashing together the frame of either the EMHAR or Tamiya MK IV with leftover parts from the All Quiet MK III's to create my own hybrid version. Wheels are turning...

Wow great find! Colossus also makes a "Edison" (Tesla) at $40, and a Shell at $20 (basic MkII chassis without sponsons for adding on all those extra guns you have left over to go with his "Merrimack" heavy tank (MkIVMonitor) at $70. Measurements of the Merricmack are 11.9cmx11cmx6.1cm (rounded). Awesome find lancecorporal. |

I think I might eventually order one of each from them.

Without them it would be useful for conversion to some of your British special tanks, like the Rupert. I like the turret and coal bunker design more than the AD version. Unfortunately it costs $94 Can. before shipping. I'll have to measure a MK IV and see if they are similar in size. |

Indeed. I guess I'm just excited to see others picking up the mantle of production. They are expensive for my tastes, but if you didn't get a Tesla for instance and aren't modeling savy, this is a valid alternative. The 'Edison' is only $5 more (not counting S&H) then the original from AD.

I'm making a Tesla tank from the Ironclad Miniatures 28mm Faraday electric Gun and its carriage. For the gun mount I'm using a resin copy of the BEF Wicket tank's glue gun turret base and taller styrene supports for the trunnions so the gun will have more elevstion.
I have to order more Faraday guns because I used the first to make an electric field gun based on your idea. One will be installed in a Mk IV monitor turret as a Rupert tank (no sponsons). I'm going to file the shells in the rack on the left rear of the turret flat and glue on a louvered panel from a Mk II tank superstructure, which is exactly the right size to fit. That'll represent an armoured compartment holding part of the gun charging system.

It's a good looking model but the price is a bit steep for me.

Yes its very costly - the Edison/Tesla is the best priced of the three I think, only a $5 difference in price.
