Haven't seen one in my hand, but if it's anything like their Mark V - which I do have - I reckon a Trenchworx FT-17 would give any manufacturer a run for their money...

As I understand it the resin tanks are supplied with a single of your choice of turret (round or hexagonal), and both types of weapon which are designed to be swapped in or out with magnets.

I believe they also sell both types of turret as individual spares. 

Good luck,

(PS I have no affiliation with the company)

Lou,
Mike Perry showed me a trenchworx FT17 when I visited in December. Very crisp and neat kit. He was certainly very impressed by it - and I think his expert eye counts for more than my amateur one!

i'll have to wait a little, as i ordered an other Tanake ( i own 2 of the original John Hart model ) and some more Vichy troops and need to order an other R35 from Neucraft ( greatest model i have seen ) .

But it will be Trenchwork for the FT ... ;)

Excellent choice.   I have one and it is simply fantastic.  As is their Schneider.
