Designed by French tank pioneer Jean-Baptiste Estienne, this particular tank is one of the original prototypes built in 1917. Estienne envisaged hundreds of tanks swarming across enemy trenches and swamping them with numbers. This design was in many ways revolutionary, with many features that can be found in modern tanks - a fully-rotating turret, the driver in the front and the engine and gearbox in the back in a separate compartment from the crew. As a prototype, this version does not feature any armour, just metal plate. This tiny tank (just over 7 tonnes in weight) was a direct contemporary of the British Whippet (14 tonnes) and had the same role of effecting a rapid breakthrough. The male version was equipped with a 37mm anti-tank gun, but the female, like this one, was armed with an 8mm machine-gun. Then-Lieutenant Colonel Dwight D Eisenhower took one of the 950 FT-17s built for the American Army on the 1919 Transcontinental Motor Convoy, a 56-day(!) Army expedition using a variety of motor vehicles on a trip from Washington DC to San Francisco in an era when paved roads were limited to city/town environs and adjacent areas. The FT-17 remained in military service until 1945. - Notes from the Tank Musuem. Seen in the new hall at The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset.

The Renault FT 17 was a French light tank of World War I - English
En Marzo de 1922 partieron hacia Melilla 12 carros de combate Renault FT-17 para participar en la guerra de Marruecos, 10 de ellos tenían la torre Girod troncocónica y habían sido adquiridos pocos meses antes, otro tenía la torre octogonal, era el que se había adquirido en 1919 para estudiar su adopción en el ejército, por último estaba el carro de mando TSF, único en España.tres años más tarde, algunos de estos carros junto con algunos Schneider CA-1 participarían en el primer desembarco multiarmas de la historia. La maqueta de Meng ha sido una bendición para los amantes de los carros de la primera guerra mundial, y también para los de la guerra civil española. Fácil de montar y repleto de buenos detalles, incluye algunas piezas fotograbadas y muelles de metal. Para mi maqueta decidí emplear las cadenas de Modelkasten, que aunque tiene el número incorrecto de eslabones, le gana a las del kit en cuanto a fineza y detalle. La pintura corresponde al esquema de camuflaje del tipo Solomon con el que llegaron desde Francia, muy en boga en aquella época, más de medio siglo más tarde,los americanos "inventarían" el esquema MERDC que tanto se le parece. Utilizando máscaras para los colores principales y un pincel para las ramas de color negro, usé filtros acrílicos para crear manchas con la técnica del salpicado. Para las cadenas usé una base de color chocolate oscuro y luego pigmentos de varios tonos para acumular barro seco y algo de polvo sobre ellas, un sencillo lápiz de grafito es suficiente para bruñir la zona de roce. Unas manchas de aceite y gasolina siempre son un buen detalle. Todos los montajes fotográficos están hechos sobre fotos de paisajes de Marruecos

The brainchild of designer Rodolphe Ernst-Metzmaier, the FT-17 first began to take shape in May 1916. Encouraged by car designer Louis Renault, Ernst-Metzmaier created a revolutionary design that set the pattern for all future tanks. His FT-17 was the first tank to possess a fully rotating turret. It also established the configuration of having a top-mounted turret, with the driver in the front and the engine in the rear. The incorporation of these features made the FT-17 a radical departure from previous French designs, such as the Schneider CA1 and the St. Chamond, which were little more than armored boxes.
