looks really good man i been wanting one of those kits.

I would recommend the second one, the first is in ungodly red plastic that the color bleeds through the white. Interior took 6 coats and there was still some pink until I dirtied it up.

Despite the color of plastic Takoms FT is awesome. Last month or so they released the MG verison with a tank figure. Takom has also announced 1/35 Mk.IV male and female.

And Meng is doing one of these FT-17's in 1/35 scale as well.  Looks like WW1 armor is becoming popular again!

Very nice model, even if there is no rigging.   Well done.

It is really neat to see this kit built on the forum.  I am amazed at the color scheme of the tank.  The U.S. used these as well during the great war, and of course there is one in the Laurel and Hardy movie as well.  I can't remember the name, but Stan is driving it.  I have the Meng in 1/35th.  Looking forward to seeing the MK IV's in 1/35.

Thanks for posting this.

Best
