Ayup All...
As I promised Sarge, Here's my Belated Bare-Bones Review of the new 1/76th scale Airfix Female Tank. Interestingly enuff, the Catalogue lists the Scale as 1/32nd ! It is Boxed in one of the Splendid new 'Red Boxes'. With a nice depiction of a Tank in Action.
It's moulded crisply in the Generic pale Blue Plastic and has 69 pieces on 3 Sprues, with the Tracks being of the 'Rubber Band' variety. with the Instructions, it's a full Box, but the Decal sheet is, of course only small, giving a serial number and the epithet: 'We're all in it'. Indeed. 
Pics:
Box top:
Main Sprues: Two with A hull half each and the other with the Sponson Parts.
Hull 1:
Hull 2 with Wheels:
Sponson Parts:
General Sprue Layouts. (chopped the Tracks off though !) - Sorry !
Destructions are 'Typical Airfix and Unfortunately we don't have a Seperate Colour sheet for painting. But that doesn't spoil anything.
Others have built the Kit here already, so I direct you all to the various Demo-build threads. Suffice to say, It looks like a nice Kit to me.
Destruction Sequence:
Paint Guide:
And FWIW, Decal sheet: (You won't see much !)
If there are any more left, You can see all my pics on 'Bucket here:

| Still dissapointed they didn't take the opportunity to fix the original problems and make it into an actual Mk I |

What needs fixing? Which variant does it represent or is it a 'bitsa'? |

The problem is the original was never ever a MKI and has been pointed out is in fact a MKII originally named Dahlia <snip> ... at this point it had a female right sponson, eventually returned to bovington when the school moved and then along came Airfix.... <snip>
.... add the above story for effect at dinner parties etc.... for a perfectly accurate model..

Ayup Chris in Deutschland...
What a pity... *sigh* such Cynicism only three posts in. And I've read your post about the 1/76 Romans too...
I hope we can find something for you to like....
Oh, and Welcome to ATF, Best on the Web... possibly.
