Landship comparison. Warlord Games vs Great War Miniatures Mk IV tank

So with the release of Battlefield 1 (BF1) inspiring me, and the fact I bought the Warlord Games (WG) model last month, I thought it a good idea to do a comparison between two available 28mm MkIV tanks or land ships as they are known in BF1.  One being from WG on the left and the other from Great War Miniatures (GWM) on the right.  Both are the 'Male' variant, the Female is also available from both companies and WG supplies the hermaphrodite variant.

Both are resin and metal kits that are relatively easy to put together with only minimal green stuff putty required, however both models top rails were not easy and require some mucking about to get into the correct positions.  Neither kits come with chain for the unditching beam which is just to be glued on the back, but I used some brass chain from a old piece of jewelry for all of my tanks for that extra bit of realism.

Both tanks have great detail, but I think the GWM kit is the more accurate, and as you can see from the pictures is slightly bigger.  but over all I am happy for them both to 'play' together and once painted will look great as a section of tanks.  Another point worth mentioning is the cost, Currently the WG kit is the cheaper at 27 British pounds compared to the GWM 32 British pounds so the 5 quid difference may sway some folks to the WG kit

My plan if to complete a tank army from the now out of print The Great War rules set from Games Workshop.  the ultimate goal is to get the army ready for the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Cambrai which is how I am painting my MkIV''s.  Below will be C Battalion, 8 Company, 5 Section

Just another 3 to get.............
