A unique set that embodies the COBI slogan: Build a story, block by block. Renault FT is a French light tank from the First World War. It was designed in 1917 and went down in history as the reference tank for almost all later designs. The block model was developed under the supervision of the world’s largest museum of armoured weapons at the Musée des Blindés, Musée Général Estienne, Saumur (France) in 1:35 scale to match the figures and the rest of the World War I collection. Renault FT was also used by many countries, including France, Belgium, Turkey and Poland, during the Second World War. It was the most effective armoured vehicle of the First World War. Its role was to support the infantry and the rear-mounted element was to help negotiate the trenches. The rotating turret provided effective fire in different directions. This model is characterised by narrow, movable rails. This is an example of the exceptional craftsmanship of the COBI designers, who have perfectly reproduced all the proportions and details of this vehicle.
One special figure is included in the set. Jean Baptiste Eugène Estienne (1860-1936) was an outstanding French general of artillery, specialist in military engineering, one of the founders of modern French artillery and armoured troops. It is thanks to his enormous work that the introduction of armoured troops into the army was prepared and the tactics of their use developed. The general in France was nicknamed “Père des Chars” (the father of the tank) and became patron of the famous Musée des Blindés in Saumur.

Renault FT with the figure of General Estienne is a must for lovers of history, armour and a beautiful model for the collection dedicated to the First World War. The GREAT WAR collection, refreshed in 1/35th scale, cannot do without this most important set! Build a story, block by block!
