Not much on this subject. Garet made a WWI tank some time ago. Searching his projects should give you a starting point. Perhaps an on line search. Good luck and let us know.

I was working on it this morning.
Looking pretty good to me. Better than I would do. I like the way you represent the threads.
Lou
thanks! I want to make some more.
Lou I could not find the tank project on garets board.
Looks great mate!

I tried to make the tank per the original instructions, which were for a kit with balsa parts that had inked details on them already. As a result, I didn't use any sort of filler on my balsa parts and used thinned paint so that the printing would show through.
I printed my balsa by printing out the plan details on a laser printer and transferring the toner to my balsa by ironing it on with a clothes iron.
It was a fun project and went together pretty quickly.
Plans are here (they aren't of great quality):

I checked through our archives and found a few more tank plans from Whitman kits. I'll do my best to get those posted soon.
