About product

Renault FT-17 in the modified Chinese version 1:72 (Flyhawk)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the light tank in 1:72 scale from Flyhawk. The release captures the modified version operated in China, that is, one of the less usual forms of this vehicle. 1:72 scale is popular with machinery because it makes modest demands on room and is easy to set into a smaller diorama. The particular contents of the package and the number of parts are stated on the box.

The real subject

The Renault FT is a French light tank of the end of the First World War and one of the most important milestones in the history of armored machinery. As the first production vehicle of its kind it used the layout that became the standard: the driver at the front, a fully rotating turret in the middle and the engine at the rear. It was small, relatively cheap and built in large numbers, so after the war it spread to a number of countries where it served long after it was created and in some places went through local modifications. The machines operated in China belong to this group.

Building and painting tips

In 1:72 scale the parts are small, so cut them off with a sharp scalpel right at the gate and clean them up with a fine file. Assemble and paint the running gear and the tracks before you close the hull, as you will no longer be able to reach them. Apply a filler primer, which will even the surface out, and spray the base shade with an airbrush in thin coats. Pick out the detail with a dark wash, which will run into the recesses. At the end, dust and mud weathering with pigments concentrated on the running gear and the lower part of the hull works well.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of armored machinery in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone interested in the history of the first tanks
  • Modelers who build small dioramas
  • Builders with experience of small parts
