    The text discusses how the MkV tank was developed from the MkIV and closely resembled it outwardly, but included changes like a different rear cupola and additional hatches. It notes that some tanks later had components of both male and female models. Many were also sent to support the anti-Bolshevik forces in Russia.

    The most noticeable change between the MkV and MkIV was in the rear cupola. The MkV also had more access hatches added to the rear, including a rearward-firing machine gun and a semaphore.

    More access hatches were added to the rear of the MkV tank, including a rearward-firing machine gun and a semaphore.

    The Mk V heavy tank was developed from the MkIV

    heavy tank. The MkV closely resembled the MkIV


    outwardly. The most noticeable change was in the re
    ar
    cupola.

    More access hatches were added to the rear , including a


    rearward-firing MG, and a semaphore. The rails were
    installed at the factory instead of in the field. By the end
    of the war, many of the MkV's were "hermaphrodites",
    with one male sponson and one female sponson. I built
    the example model in this configuration. The model
    includes both male sponsons and both female sponsons.
    The MG's were usually Hotchkiss, but I included Lewis
    MG's also.

    The MkV did not entirely replace the MkIV, though


    battalions were normally of one type or the other, not
    mixed.

    MkV's were sent to Russia to bolster the Tsarist (White)


    Army in it's losing struggle with the Bolsheviks (Red
    Army). Many of these vehicles were captured by the
    Soviets and used for a time after the end of the
    Revolution.
