My Google fu is failing me completely, who makes a good quality model of this tank? with links if possible.
Thanks in advance

Can't find one.....I thought Warlord had one but they don't. Maybe there is one forthcoming with their Force of arms takeover......
-
Brigade Games have two variants, which look good, although I haven't seen them in the flesh:

Also, Force of Arms used to have one, so it may be available from Warlord at some point. I've got one for my Rif War Spanish, and it's quite a nice model - some pin bubbles and some extra resin blots in places, but all easily rectified and well worth the money.
Here's a pic of mine:

Don't GasOline do a 1/48 scale model?

A little pricey for gaming at 45 Euro though......Link (http://www.phpshopxml.com/quakit.shop/CID/0d5552a0a2f20475e237c5215f60e1b1/function/itemSearchResultPageDisplay/shopSearchType/familySubFamilyCode/shopSearchData/GASOLINE%7C1)

Eek. As you were.
I did used to have one, from HLBSC. Who got their vehicles?
-
The Brigade games one is great. And that's not just because we made the masters ;)
I think 1rst corps has one as well though. There are also a few versions up on Shapeways from ArticSkunk.
The brigade one is all metal.

Company B

I don't actually think 1st corps has one. Maybe they did in the past, but they don't currently have one in their WWI vehicles range.
EDIT: Those Shapeways tanks are a good deal if you're in North America! $21, not bad!
-
I'll put up a link to my posts on this.
-
Brent - when did you guys make the master for the Brigade Games one?
I ask as the one I have was a little blobby in the detail when I bought it a few years ago, but it serves perfectly as an inter-war one with rust spots and bullet holes.
-
Old Glory make one too. It's a little on the small side of things but not a bad representation, it's also an all metal model.
-
Brigade Games/CoB's FT-17 is great! I have two.
Old Glory's is smaller than 1/56.
-
Empress have one we just havn't released it yet lol
Should be out in a few weeks. :)
-
I look forward to seeing it, as I have not decided on one yet.
-
Hi 1st corps miniatures do have one .its being remastered to use with the up dated range .I have a couple left from my back catalogue I've promise two to chap in canada,pm and l send you one
the new tank is done,I've changed it to be a better gaming model.to get rid of that unballanced look of this tank I've added a small base to each track ,and some mud to the track units.It has both turrets in the kit and a small circular dip in the body where the turret sits so you can use blue tac to hold the turret on if you like,it doesn't stop you attaching a turret .just means you can get twice the useage out of one model.

First time I got a 28mm version of htis tank (the Brigade Games one in fact) I thought they had mislabelled it and it was actually a 25mm or 22mm model. Then I saw a real one at the WW1 museum in Kansas City and realized just how small that tank is, compared to what we have today or even what was running around in WW2.

Thank you Tin Shed Gamer, I have PM'd you, I will post pictures here once I have received it.

I've had a chance to drive a running one a few times, but at 6'2 and too many pounds I just can't really fit in the thing. That's why its nice to see the real thing once in a while.
