This week still tiny tank, but timeline rollback to World War I, a light tank by France: FT-17 Renault. It is a dual AFV kit from Flyhawk, a small brand which doesn't have many products. But QC is quite high. Since have two FT-17, I painted one in field green, another in camo. Then applied weathering both of them. 就這樣 2025 年第五作 (累計上色成品第 四 三 零 號) 入櫃了。
