About product

The Renault FT in 1:72 scale

A model of the Renault FT light tank in 1:72 scale, which the manufacturer designates FT 17 Gas Tank. It belongs to the small scale in which a whole unit can be built without it taking up the entire display case.

The real subject

The Renault FT is the machine with which the modern tank begins. It was the first to carry a fully rotating turret with a weapon and the layout with the driver at the front and the engine at the rear, that is the arrangement designers follow to this day. The crew was only two men: the driver and the commander, who also operated the weapon in the turret. At the rear a tail skid projected, thanks to which the tank could cross a trench that would otherwise have stopped it. Several thousand were built, they went to a number of armies, and some of them were still in service at the start of the Second World War, that is more than twenty years after they were created.

Building and painting tips

  • Dry-fit the parts before gluing; in a small scale every gap shows.
  • Cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder off.
  • Wash and degrease the model before painting, otherwise the paint will not hold well.
  • Choose the color scheme and the markings according to the particular machine and the period in which it served.
  • The running gear and the underside deserve more dust and mud than the upper surfaces; that is exactly what brings a model of this scale to life.

Who the model is for

For builders of military vehicles in 1:72 scale and for anyone interested in the beginnings of the tank as a weapon. Paints, glue and other modeling supplies are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It was the first tank with a fully rotating turret and with the layout in which the driver sits at the front and the engine is at the rear. Tank design follows that arrangement to this day.

Two. The driver and the commander, who also operated the weapon in the turret.

They are not, unless stated otherwise. Count on using your own paints and glue.

A model of this scale is small, so the parts call for tweezers and a steady hand, but it takes up little room in a display case and a whole unit can be built alongside it.
