At the end of last year released a model of the French tanks Renault FT-17. It produced a Polish company in the M-Model 1 / 35 scale.

Thanks, it looks like a very well cast resin kit.

Yes, the resin model is carefully constructed, consistent with a model in 1:1 scale. It is a pity that there is not possible to make opened doors.
I strongly recommend this model.

I see no comments, opinions and evaluations of the model. I'm curious what you think about it.

Hi Adam, The kit looks good and not a bad price for a resin kit €49 at Jadar Model. Personally I don't like solid resin kits as I like to have the option of open hatches.

Did you have some connection with the production of the kit?

Do not have nothing in common with the M-model company. I'm curious about the opinion of others. Shop Jadar is expensive. I bought a cheaper model of the 165 zł. (€ 40-41). I suggest buying from the manufacturer, just write an email.Do not have nothing in common with the M-model company. I'm curious about the opinion of others. Shop Jadar is expensive.

FT-17 is my first model with a resin, a relatively long wondered, now I do not regret it.

Edit -> As for the price of the model, it is not so dear. Today I learned how much of a resin model of Winnie the armored car from the Warsaw Uprising in 1 / 35 scale model TORO Company. It costs € 75 (!!!). For me this mad price. It is not surprising that the manufacturer has stopped production, waiting for orders from abroad.
