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.

RPM Model 1/72 Panhard 178 wz.1940 French WWII Armored Car w/Renault Type Turret (by Kerem Özkır)

Hello,

This kit stayed with me for a long time, when it was about to disappear, I gave it to Kerem and it came to life.
It's a simple, ordinary model, but it too has the right to live. Thank you Kerem...

Hello,

Here is  Leclerc from Onur Uz, who served in the United Nations Peacekeeping  Force…

As the miniafv team, we liked the model and the vignette very much, but we have criticisms about the color of the tank. But Onur didn't listen to us :)

Nice result my friend, well done,

Erhan..
