...is not a name usually associated with armor. They're mainly associated with PE for ships and (IMHO) the best plastic 1/700 ship kits...so far only 5 models. They've recently released some 1/72 armor kits - two versions of the FT 17, and a yet to be released Panzer 1. Here are some shots of the FT 17 riveted hull:











As you can tell from the pics, this is a very tiny tank, but you do get two in the box. The quality is as good, or better, than Dragon's was in their heyday. I can hardly wait to start work on one of these little beauties, but first I have to finish the Flyhawk ship I'm working on.

Finished pics:




Excellent kit. I would highly recommend it. And since there are 2 included, that makes them under $10 each!
