"The wagon is a
French standard Pechot wagon, model 1888 for 600 mm. gauge. The kit
is resin and white metal from 13'eme Dragon (not available anymore,
unfortunately). I have fitted 12 mm. Romford wheels in brass
bearings to improve running. The FT-17 is of course from RPM. It is
fitted with RPM's workable single link track, an ARMO resin engine
compartement and assorted Aber etched parts. The figure is a Scale
Link tank officer painted after info on your website and from the
YSEC-book "Chars de la Victoire".
I plan to make another standard Pechot to carry the missing track
from the tank's right side, the tail and some tools and stowage. The
two wagons will represent a transport of a broken down tank to a
workshop behind the lines." - Claus Nielsen
