This FT-17, and a second one just like it, were recently captured in Afghanistan. They were flown back to Ft. Knox where they are under going restoration. We have a few more WWI armor and figure projects in the works in both 54mm and 1/35 scale.

On the left we have a shot of another FT-17 that is restored and on display in the museum building. We were also able to view and photograph this (photo right) WWI monster both inside and out.
