Braille Scale Tanks

Below are my three latest builds, all in 1/72 scale. All were painted with acrylic paints from Velejo & Tamiya.

The first 2 are Renault FT17s by Flyhawk (you get two kits in the box). The green & grey one is in WWI French markings and the brown & beige one is a WWII French markings. Excellent kits with a limited amount of photoetch. Tracks are single piece hard plastic units that slide into place over the suspension units.

The third model is a WWII Polish TKS tankette. The kit is also Polish and is from First To Fight. Decent, simple kit with only a few parts. Track and suspension are molded as one unit on each side.









Note how much smaller the TKS is compared to the FT17s.  (All are on the same size base.) It actually had a 2 man crew, just like the FT17.
