Manu-Military Posted March 3, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 3, 2009 Hi, This is my first post on this forum. I'm a French modeler and my main interest is for the US armor from 1917 to 1945. So first I apologize if my English seems sometimes a bit odd. I build mainly in 1/35 scale but I also enjoy building as much as possible in 1/16 scale. I thought you would like to see some of my models. Here is the most recent one : the French Renault FT as used in 1918 by the 326th armored regiment. Here are some photos of the model and you invited to see more in my site at http://manu-military.e-monsite.com Thanks for looking and your comments.

Idon't know if it is still a current production kit but it can be found at a lot of internet hobby shops for about $12. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manu-Military Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share #11 Posted March 19, 2009 I thought you may like this photo! Patrick yes, thanks. I didn't know it but bare in mind this is a 6 tons tank not a Renault FT. My model is the original French tank built by Renault. Cheers from Normandy!

Allan H. Posted June 26, 2009 Share #15 Posted June 26, 2009 The US National World War I Muuseum at the Liberty Memorial in Downtown Kansas City, MO has one of these Renault tanks on display. Below is a link for information on the one in the collection. Like the model dipicted in this thread, it was also manned by US soldiers during the war. http://www.nww1.org/s/110/images/editor_do...r%20website.pdf Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
