"This guy" is Adam, aka skala72, the proprietor of Tank Models, the outlet in Poland�for kits made by the German company, Modelltrans Modelbau. See this thread:

In 1/72, Modelltrans Modelbau make replacement track units for the Renault FT, replacement tracks for Tanks Mark I to IV, an Obice 100/17, tadpole tails, and the St Chamond Series 1.

And the Mark V is coming soon.

The owner of Modell Trans is Peter Przybylka from Germany, who did the rivets on the master of the Jeffery Poplavko which I made for Den Bels Models. Peter is a real rivet champion, so that part is certainly OK. What I�ve seen of the master is that it�s based on the Emhar MK-IV. The sponsons should be better than Emhar's of course, but the seam between the armour plates just behind the sponsons is located different on the Mark IV and V. Nevertheless, I'll be taking this kit to build a number of versions. After I get my hands on it, I'll work on a dedicated decal sheet as well covering several nations.

Hi All

A Tank Mk V will be great, and the St Chamond looks good too. But as a 1/72 wargamer (ie that's the scale I play in, not me!) at 30 Euros a go they are just not affordable in any quantity that�I would need. So, Armourfast remain my best hope, unless someone else can be persuaded.... biggrin

Armourfast have stated that the Schneider CA and the St Chamond are in their plans.
