A Couple of WW1 Tanks

[Epap]

I purchased a 1:30th scale Renault FT-17 pewter tank replica made by The Old Northwest Trading Co. a while ago and had to repaint it as the model was very poorly rendered, scheme-wise. I just added a British MK.IV "male" tank from the same source, which was better done and have already added some numerical markings and mud on the tracks. Later, I'll do some chipping. Here's a picture of this interesting pair:

Awesome! Glad they are in a "larger" scale like 1:30 (as opposed to 1:72). I've seen a fully-restored MK.IV "Male" tank on display at the Imperial War Museum in London. Its a monster!

Isn't the Old Northwest Renault 1/32?
At the beginning of WWII the French had over 400 of those Renaults left from WWI and used them against the Germans. They didn't fare too well.

I think you are right about the scale on the FT-17, K. Btw, the Germans also used captured FT-17s in France and the Poles used them against the Germans in September 1939----in some cases ( static defense ) with positive results.

I did not know that Epap. Thanks.
