The nice thing about the FT-17 is that you can show off virtually everything on the inside as there wasn't a whole lot to the vehicle and the hatches are huge! Nice work on the wiring. Thanks Bill! The one thing you can't see is the transmission and clutch system. Not without removing a hull panel.  |

Stupid question alert! Shouldn't the backrest be bowed the other way?  |

Stupid question alert! Shouldn't the backrest be bowed the other way? Well I thought the same thing, but that's how the instructions show it. However it is not attached yet and I will checking some references before it is. |

Man, that seat really do look very comfy... I'd rather to be stuck inside a trench than driving in that machine now. LOL

The engine/radiator set up looks great back there. You can tell this isn't an American design by the lack of a cupholder in the driver's compartment.  |

Looking great sir! The only way to build small armor is 1/16 scale. Nicely done Master Luke with the cool beard.

Nice work on the internal weathering Terry! That engine does look sweet. |

It looks like the real one in that museum(?) photo has been repainted so with your weathering skills, well, yours looks much more real than the real thing. I can't imagine a higher accomplishment in the model world. Well done, truly!
