Why this kit matters
The French FT-17 Light Tank revolutionised tank design during World War I with its fully rotating turret. It was one of the first tanks to feature a turret that could rotate 360 degrees, setting a standard for future tank designs. The FT-17 played a crucial role in the latter stages of the war, providing mobility and firepower that were unmatched at the time.
