Designed at the end of World War I by engineer Louis Renault, it was the first tank to feature a rotating turret – a solution that became the standard for tanks worldwide. The FT-17 was employed in the final stage of the Great War on the Western Front, as well as in numerous local conflicts up until the 1940s. Many armies, including Poland, utilized this type of tank.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eAdvantages of the E.T.

Thanks to the minimum thickness of the brass sheet used, realism unattainable with plastic can be achieved for details such as handles, covers, ventilation grills, or mounts. The set allows you to replace or enhance selected parts of the base model, which guarantees a much higher level of historical accuracy and fidelity of detail.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and difficulty level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    E.T.
