Meng Model 1:35 - French FT-17 Tank (Crew and Orderly) - Plastic Figure Model Kit #HS-005

The kit represents two members of the FT-17 crew and a dispatch rider delivering new orders to the tankmen. The tank is not included in this kit and can be found here.

The Renault FT, also known as the FT-17, was a French light tank of the late WWI period. Remarkable for its revolutionary design, the FT-17 played an invaluable role in the history of tank development. It was the first tank that featured a revolving turret. The FT-17 had a crew compartment at the front, an engine compartment in the rear, and main armament placed inside of the turret. This configuration became and remains the standard tank design making the FT-17 the first modern tank in the world. 

The kit includes parts for the assembly of three figures in two variants (there are duplicate parts for each of the three figures on a separate sprue) and a 1917 Peugeot 750 cc 2 cylinder motorcycle.

Meng Model 1:35 - Imperial German Army Stormtroopers - Plastic Figure Model Kit #HS-010

During the First World War, German Stormtroopers (Sturmtruppen) were specialist soldiers trained to fight with infiltration tactics that were intended to achieve surprise and attack the weakest parts of an enemy's line. Small groups of stormtroopers would rush forward and lay down covering fire for other groups in their unit. They were followed by regular infantry with heavy weapons attacking the isolated enemy strong points.

This plastic kit includes four figures of German Stormtroopers in different positions. The soldiers are carrying weapons and ammunition, including the MP 18 submachine gun, the lightweight version of the MG 08 machine gun and cluster grenades.
