The only WW1 armor I'm aware of is (and correct me if I'm wrong):

1/35th:
Emhar's Mk IV Male and Female
Tauro's A7V
Tauro's Fiat (which is, essentially, a Renault Ft1)
Various resin, expensive things

1/72nd:
Matchbox Renault Ft1 (boxed with the CharBis)
Airfix "WW1 Tank" (I believe a MkIV male)

Any others?
