I have a feeling that Tamiya is going to come out with a FT-17 within the next couple of years. Just call it a hunch as I have absolutely no inside info. But rumors are they were seen measuring one and it can be used both WWI and WWII Allied and German. I, for one, would buy a couple.

Interesting Roy.

World War I seems to be a forgotten war as far as armour model kits are concerned. Plenty of aircraft kits but not many figures or tanks/trucks/guns. Emhar do some 1/35 World War I tanks kits but I think they are quite old.

As my understanding is that WWI aircraft kits have exploded in the last couple of years, and that there used to only be few on the subject. Perhaps armor will follow, I mean come on, they can only come out with so many Panzer IV kits, they've got to be running out of WWII content. amer_lol
