This is a "walk-around"
collection of photos of the FT-17 tank that can be seen in the excellent
Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung of the Bundeswehr, in Koblenz,
without doubt one of Germanys best military museums. The tank has been
renovated through and through, but there is no interior and no engine etc. The
painting scheme is off course brand new. Many of the surviving FT-17's are for some
reason the variant with the Cast, so called "Girod", turret. This one deserves a
bit of special treatment as it is the first one I've seen myself with the riveted "Omnibus" turret
