Brigade Games FT 17s

[jtrnka]

Sweet tanks Helen! I'm going to be having a face to face with Lon at Fall In this year as I'm casting his Mk.IV's and V's I'll see if there's a chance of doing the FT-17 up in resin as well.

I'm now going to look at Force of Arms (FOA) for their FT 17s since Brigade Games has gone all metal.

FOA have some lovely vehicles on offer and I'll look at the FT 17s for the Finns for my Winter War project.

You may want re-check that. As far as I know, the FT-17s were used as dug in fire support positions in Winter War, no mobile ones were used, after the Finns had realised the main gun failed to penetrate even 10mm of steel. Instead Finns had Vickers type Es (?) which failed miserably.

Thankyou!

This subject heading is over a year old and since then I've had support from Peder an many others plus my library increased 10 fold and now just a little wiser, perhaps? I've a numbers of Vickers type Es including the upgrade version. My project (which there is another thread) is coming along slowly as I'm getting prepared for a large WW1 Palestine game in December an I'm busy with paint brush in hand at the moment.

Thanks again for your comments.

No problem, I look forward seeing your Winter War stuff!
