Flyhawk Model 1/72 Renault FT-17 Light Tank (Cast Turret) / by Şerif Sadık

Dear friends,

I would like to share my latest project with you. I have been doing research on WW1 at the level of curiosity for a while and this pushed me to make a WW1 project. I wanted to evaluate the 1/72 scale FT-17 kit I have. Many of our experienced modeler friends have knowledge, but in case there may still be those who are curious, to briefly talk about the kit; There are enough sprues to produce 2 tanks from the box. In addition, although not very detailed, the PE parts in the box definitely increase the quality of the model. For this reason, it is 100% recommended for 72 scale lovers..

Please have a look at our box review article.: https://miniafv.blogspot.com/2015/08/flyhawk-model-172-renault-ft-17-light.html

Back to the project, during the assembly of the tank, while I was digging through the reference photos, I came across a photo with some French soldiers and a caisson cart in the background. Therefore my vignette idea was conceptualized. For this reason, I believe that 2 horses, a cart and a few French soldiers, which I printed with my 3D printer, took my vignette to the next level. As a result, it was a work that I felt comfortable with, except for a few mistakes that caught my eye in the photos.See you next time. Keep with miniafv.
