1:16 Takom 1004 Renault FT-17 WWI - 3-in-1 Set - French Light Tank Plastic Model kit
Bring one of the most influential tanks of the First World War to life with the Takom 1004 Renault FT-17 WWI - 3-in-1 Set in 1:16 scale. This impressive plastic model kit recreates the famous French Renault FT-17, a light tank that entered production in 1917 and played a major role in the development of modern armoured vehicles. The Renault FT-17 was revolutionary thanks to its compact design, fully rotating turret and innovative layout, with the driver positioned at the front, the fighting compartment in the centre and the engine at the rear. This arrangement became the foundation for countless later tank designs. With its distinctive tracks, prominent turret and unusual trench-crossing tail, the Renault FT-17 makes an outstanding modelling project for enthusiasts of historical military vehicles and highly detailed scale models.
The Takom 1004 Renault FT-17 stands out for its comprehensive 3-in-1 configuration, allowing you to build one of three different historical variants. You can choose a cast turret armed with a 37 mm Puteaux gun, a cast turret fitted with a Hotchkiss machine gun, or a riveted turret with cannon armament. Thanks to the impressive 1:16 scale, the characteristic construction details, rivets and armour plates are reproduced with exceptional clarity. The kit also includes detailed interior components, allowing you to recreate the inside of this historic tank. All hatches can be assembled in either open or closed positions, giving you complete control over how much of the interior remains visible.
The running gear of this Renault FT-17 is also extensively detailed. The road wheels and individual track links are designed to remain movable, allowing the distinctive track arrangement of this early tank to be reproduced convincingly. The recognisable trench-crossing tail at the rear provides an important historical detail, highlighting the vehicle's original design for overcoming battlefield trenches. The included decal sheet offers five different marking options, allowing you to give the finished model an authentic historical appearance. Combining three possible configurations, detailed interior components and movable tracks, this Takom kit provides a challenging and rewarding modelling experience. An excellent choice for experienced modellers and collectors of First World War military vehicles.
