Does anyone know where to get a good Renault FT model for me to use as a machanicus leman russ? Or, what scale I should use? Also, anyone know of a good Salamander command vehicle stand-in? Thank you.

This Is Where the Fish Lives

You have a couple of options.

Meng makes two 1/35 scale kits, one with the cast round Girod turret and the other with with the hexagonal riveted Berliet turret. The round turret kit comes with a full interior and the riveted turret kit comes with a diorama base, neither of which are probably of much use to you. Keep in mind, however, a 1/35 scale kit of this tank is really tiny; it was only a two-man vehicle. These kits are probably in neighborhood of $30 or so, depending on where you but it.

Another option is the 1/16 scale kit from Takom. This kit also has a full interior, but with it's large scale, it's close to the the size of a modern 1/35 tank model kit. Expect to pay no less than $60 this kit though.
