Awesome work Eric! [sm=thumbs_up.gif] Nice presentation too. I've been waiting a long time to see one finally make it to the battlefield. Are you going to Danville next month with her?
Oh, and where do I sign up to get my own?

Yes, I will bring it to battle in Danville probably in April. Battle gear shown below.
The tracks are from Norscot Caterpiller.
First WWI French suject I know of! Few inaccuracies, but close enough.

RE: WWI Renault FT-17 tank
Excellent job, Eric! Do you have any plans to offer a kit?
I need to wind down the shipyard after these current projects & get back to armor this winter. An A7V or captured MkIV would look very nice beside it. [sm=thumbup.gif]

RE: WWI Renault FT-17 tank
Don't think making a kit is in order (unless HL approaches me with an offer, shhh...)
It would be nice to see it with an A7V, actually I remember recently seeing one in 15th scale on German ebay, but alas static.
Check this unique pic showing size comparrison of WWI AFV's.

RE: WWI Renault FT-17 tank
Yup, that is extremely impressive. Looks fantastic. It would also be appropriate to have it duking it out against a PZ I or PZ II, since I believe the FT17 was still in use in small numbers at the start of WWII.
Again, what a great result. Congrats,
Mike.
