Thank you for comment, Javier.
I actually discovered decals afterwards (for 1/35th scale), so the camo scheme for #4 is incorrect.

Roman,
Very nice review of this variant of the FT-17. After having reviewed the riveted turret version, your review held no surprises for me other than the PE nameplate and you mention a PE frame for the mantlet? BTW, now that you have had your introduction to the wonderful world of Braille Scale, why not start a BLOG in the Braille Scale Forum here on Armorama where you finish your first small scale FT-17?
Cheers,
Jan

Hi, Jan
The frame can be seen here - pic from Flyhawk webpage
as for my model - I was too lazy to take SBS pics and painted it over 1 evening
just need to work on it a bit more.
