Can't find one.....I thought Warlord had one but they don't. Maybe there is one forthcoming with their Force of arms takeover......

Brigade Games have two variants, which look good, although I haven't seen them in the flesh:

Also, Force of Arms used to have one, so it may be available from Warlord at some point. I've got one for my Rif War Spanish, and it's quite a nice model - some pin bubbles and some extra resin blots in places, but all easily rectified and well worth the money.

Here's a pic of mine:

Don't GasOline do a 1/48 scale model?

A little pricey for gaming at 45 Euro though......Link

The Brigade games one is great.  And that's not just because we made the masters  ;)

I think 1rst corps has one as well though.  There are also a few versions up on Shapeways from ArticSkunk.

The brigade one is all metal.

I don't actually think 1st corps has one. Maybe they did in the past, but they don't currently have one in their WWI vehicles range. 

EDIT: Those Shapeways tanks are a good deal if you're in North America! $21, not bad!

Brent - when did you guys make the master for the Brigade Games one?

I ask as the one I have was a little blobby in the detail when I bought it a few years ago, but it serves perfectly as an inter-war one with rust spots and bullet holes.

Old Glory make one too. It's a little on the small side of things but not a bad representation, it's also an all metal model.

Hi 1st corps miniatures do have one .its being remastered to use with the up dated range .I have a couple left from my back catalogue I've promise two to chap in canada,pm and l send you one
the new tank is done,I've changed it to be a better gaming model.to get rid of that unballanced look of this tank I've added a small base to each track ,and some mud to the track units.It has both turrets in the kit and a small circular dip in the body where the turret sits so you can use blue tac to hold the turret on if you like,it doesn't stop you attaching a turret .just means you can get twice the useage out of one model.
