Title: 1/35 Takom St. Chamond
Post by: Rob_Owens on November 30, 2013, 09:44:29 AM

Anyone else out there excited about this new release? ;D  Fills a HUGE gap in WWI armor, and makes me glad I purchased and held the original Commander's Models Schneider CA 1, as they will look fabulous displayed side by side. . .

I have to say I'm a bit tempted by that new 1/16 little French WW1 tank I've seen. Can't remember the type.

It's the Renault FT, and I'd be tempted to buy if it were the version w/ the octagonal riveted turret.

The Meng 1/35th FT-17 is a real gem I know I'm building one. The St Chamond doesn't tempt me unfortunately though.

The St. Chamond  will appeal to many, but not all WWI armor modelers, but it certainly does fill a niche in that category. I'll need to see one to make up my mind.
