FT-17 Light Tank Crew & Orderly

¹⁄35

Monday, March 07, 2016 - 05:22 PM UTC

Meng announced their new model in 1/35 scale, a WWI French tank crew. Read on for the company's press release.

HS-005 - FT-17 Light Tank Crew & Orderly

This kit exactly replicates such a scene that an orderly passing an order to an FT-17 tank commander. The figures have natural body gestures and vivid facial expressions. One helmet, one beret and one face mask which are finely replicated are also included. This kit consists of two FT-17 tank crew members, one orderly and his 1/35 scale Peugeot 1917 750 cc 2 cyl motorcycle, and 3 sets of pistols and daggers. This kit will be a perfect complement to the 1/35 scale FT-17 light tank models.

that's a nice set and would be even better if there were alternate arms so you could change the pose, the guy on the left looks like he's modelling at a fashion show...

I have this set in my grubby hand. Driver has alternate left arm hanging straight down, orderly has alternate head with Kepi. Peugeot M/C is good in places but light on detail elsewhere. Bike uses a leather belt final drive with brass rivets, but is moulded as a solid strip in the kit. This looks very poor, as the belt drive is highly visible.

Oh BTW for some reason I got two figure sprues, I'm interested if anyone else has had this happen.

Beautiful, well done. The motorcycle is an excellent addition that may cause this kit to be very popular even when not used with the FT.

I too have double figure sprue for some reason ! Would have been nice to have P/E spokes for the bike. Paul
