Meng FT-17 French Light Tank [
The Meng FT-17 with a nice little diorama base. A very cool kit. I had a lot of fun building it, even the fiddly bits... I'm quite pleased with how this build has turned out. Excuse the little bits of mess I left when I painted the interior... I'll be painting this in the not too distant future.

Can't wait to see this one painted. Such a cool tank.
I'm kind of excited to do one of those cool french camo schemes with the black lines
great modeling like it.
I like the fact that it includes a base. Nice little extra 👍
@4:52 is a hand operated backup fuel pump in case the engine driven mechanical pump fails.
Jeez I've got this one in the stash ready for the bench this year. May need to set aside a good few weeks just to get it built! Great video mate.
YES GIVE US MORE POPIE
Ah yes my curiosity and desire for this video has been fed
Would love to get this FT17 looks like a really cool model to build !
i am starting a ww 1 kick myself. excellent honest video🙂
You talk kind of like Brains ( Thunderbirds)☺️ Thanks for the build review. Yes, you are right. Meng instructions are a bit misleading. I am building the A7V and screwed up the track assembly. Again thanks for your video, I may get his after to complete my ww1 collection
Great build !!! LOVE your youtube channel.
Great review and an interesting subject. The display base is cool and makes me think back to the matchbox kits of my youth where you got them in 1/72. Now I'm going to have to go and look at their catalogue to see what the rest of their offerings are. Cheers Stu NZ
I like this great war tank it's like the father of all tanks
Nice
Looks really cool! I love interior kits. Wish i could find M4A1 with interiir or something. Good luck with painting.
Great video! Thanks! What are the measurements of this model?
This was... riveting...
I can't understand how to connect the front wheels to the body.
You should the meng char 2c
Can this thing move?
Great build, and modeling the hatch open was a nice surprise. From what I could tell the interior is well detailed per a video featuring this tank on The Chieftain's channel.
Does it took more time to buld as an 15mm Kit by Zvezda?
Nothing
Herbert, I love you brother, but you need to shave your knuckles 🤣
I will confirm the instructions suck. Long time builder.....
