A photoetched tank kit. A first?

Sounds interesting, though I bet it would be hard to make - maybe more so than the RPM is said to be. Still, more models, especially in 1/35, is a good thing - I just hope that we see some interesting subjects in the next few years, not just FTs and MkIVs galore. Surely some Americans would value a Mk V* kit, or M1918, Skeleton tank, Steam tank, or Mk VIII "Liberty"?

I wonder if anyone ever built it and if there are any photos on the net.

None that I have been able to find on the web. I always wonder if conplex kits (for example the Zeppelin Staaken from Roden) have a small percentage of completed builds or most of the production is destined to become roof insulation.

There are photos of several of completed Zeppelin Staakens from Roden on the net.

Yes, but I suspect that many many more are kept safe from cameras and hobby knives in attics. And this PE kit seems like a perfect candidate for a rushed shopping spree and a long, quiet life of stashing...

Very quiet on the web with this, one was on evilbay, fetched just under £50.00.

The Maxicraft FT looks quite good but a bit light on rivet detail perhaps, the limitations of photoetch I expect, its not the first though I think Part may have done the first etched Tank kit out for some years now.... http://www.part.pl/

TCT, The RPM kit is fiddly but only really difficult if you get a kit made from brittle plastic, I had one of each one was no problem the other a PITA as the small parts kept breaking at the slightest pressure

Hi, Doing my usual searching about and found 3 pictures of a completed kit plus a lot of other stuff about WW1 models. Its all in Russian language but translates well. Just scroll to about mid-way down page  http://vk.com/yellowhousemodels
