  French FT-17 and Pechot wagon


   
  

"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
