This is Flyhawk's FT-17, basically OTB except for the handles on the driver's hatches. The were PE, but of course I lost one, so had to replace them with fine wire. The only possible disappointment with the kit was that the decals are not by Cartograf, so they don't entirely disappear into the paintwork, even with setting solution. But that's a very minor gripe.

Very tiny tank!

Amazing work on something that small. Guess it saves on the shelf space when displayed but I think it would drive my old eyes crazy.. Again nice work!

You did a great job, especially considering the small scale.

It's a good thing they didn't make it in 1/144!

Very impressive work. though I might have thinned the track pads a bit [about 5mm IRL so that's 0.06mm in 1/72]

Good work, that's a great looking little beast. The paint & dust & rust all work well together.
