Have you seen the PE sets for the Meng FT-17?  I've always wanted an all PE model, then not paint it!  Jeff |

Makes you wonder why you need any styrene for it at all!  |

stupid question but does using the cast turret make this a FT1917 American version? I would like to make the 1917 version as that was made in Dayton Ohio. The US used both Girod and riveted turrets. In fact the new riveted turret FT kit has US markings in the box... |

Seriously, why didn't they just make a full PE kit? You could just carve a block of wood for the chassis and glue from there...  |

Do the all PE and leave it raw. It's fun. My half track still isn't painted.
