This looks great. Any idea what type of hull the replica is constructed on?

Hi douglas, I believe the chassis is based on two Fordson County Crawlers that have been mated together. Sitting inside the vehicle is a slightly strange experience, with the vehicle only having a mesh wire floor. This vehicle is actually driven from a seat right at the rear and the driver's view is either through the front hatches or a series of small security cameras fixed up to a monitor.

Correct, though this is a replica as there is now only one surviving A7V (Mephisto) which is in Australia.

British guy: "Look at our mark 4, it's the best machine ever."

German, speaking english: "HEY JOHN, LOOK AT OUR NEW TOY" (fires)

British guy: Crap...

I know that. I was pointing out the differences between the era of the tanks.
