In late autumn of 1918, some Female tanks were issued the 13 mm Mauser Tankgewehr M1918 anti-tank rifle, that could be easily mounted to replace one of the machine guns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe first operational use of the Mark IV Beutepanzer took place during Operation Michael, on March 21, 1918. By that date, the Germans had only two operational units. Abteilung 1, with five A7V tanks, and Abteilung 11 with five captured Mark IV Females tanks. Later on, Beutepanzer units were made up of two Male and three Female tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNOTES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe bundle consists of eleven sheets for the two models to be printed on 100 g\/sm and 160 g\/sm (suggested) paper, and nine sheets for the instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eOnce downloaded, the sheets \u003cb\u003ecan be printed as often as you like\u003c\/b\u003e, which means you can build any number of \u003cb\u003eMARK IV\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eBeutepanzer\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eLandships\u003c\/b\u003e very cheaply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eYou will need scissors, a craft knife, a metal ruler, glue, 100 g\/sm and 160 g\/sm (recommended weight) paper, 1mm card (I recommend finnboard\/wood pulp board), cereal box type \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ecard, light card, cocktail sticks and pins\u003c\/span\u003e.
