The Germans referred to "tank panic" for that initial reaction (albeit thats a translation, so I suppose it would have been Panzer panik).

Both tanks are awesome (an over used term that really applies here). Good on the Tank Museum to aquire these. I'm impressed that someone actually builds these replicas.

Nice. Do we all know where the last existing  genuine A7V resides?

That would be Mephisto. I gather that some persons of an Australian persuasion came upon it in the field, and as it didn't seem to belong to anybody they pinched it* and took it home with them to Brizzy.






*I'm saying nothing. Germans should have nailed it down or hung a sign on it, I guess.

With Australians around, certainly.

Thanks for sharing.  Whenever I finally get a chance to visit the UK, that is one museum I really want to visit.
