discussion Meng 1/35 French ft-17

[tanktrack]

hi guys I thought I would try something none British this time for a change and have this ft-17 in my stash it is a small tank about the size of the British Vickers mk1 , it is a lovely kit from meng and the quality is top drawer there are only 20 steps to build it and I am making fast progress , this kit also comes with a base so it could be in the diorama sec also .

I am really enjoying building this kit and while the suspension is drying I have built the base which is well put together and looks the part, I have just set on the wood and sand bags to see what it looks like and will be painted separately
