Toni Canfora builds the Copper State Models 1/35 Canadian MG Carrier, a machine that resembles modern-day infantry fighting vehicles.
Most people probably associate World War One vehicles with big, box-like tanks such as the iconic British Male and Female tanks, or the German A7V. However, there was a variety of smaller vehicles in service, and motorised transport trucks made their appearance in great numbers during the conflict, as well as variants of the Ford Model T, which were used extensively as ambulances.
Due to the static nature of the battles, manoeuvrability and diversity were not prioritised factors when developing new types. A tank was expected to do what the type could do at the time, mainly assaulting head-on and terrifying the enemy, as opposed to modern day tanks that – apart from the aforementioned tasks – can perform many other missions. And trucks were supposed to haul supplies, period.
