Does anyone have any insight on this brand? I’ve found an FT and an FT TSF by them. They do appear defunct, and I can’t find any commentary on NKC or the kits, which seems a troubling comment on their quality and/or accuracy.

I’m just looking for NKC info, quality, accuracy.

I’m looking to add the TSF to my menagerie of FTs (RPM and Meng). I found a couple of the RPM TSF kits that are more expensive, haven’t seen the Meng for sale yet (and it will be presumably more expensive) and the conversions, with another FT kit will also be more expensive.

Do they all make the French TSF, I believe the American M1917 6-ton has some differences such as the hull. I do have the MR M1917 conversion. But I suspect that all of the commercial kits are of the French built version, though the Meng kit I have says it is an American marked but French built and or a Chicom version from m1929, most probably French built.

I have the RPM 1/72 series, too, haven’t looked super closely, but I suspect that the ones marked as M1917 6-ton are pretty much identical, though I think the turrets have the American mods to the mantlet.

Thanks,
Frank (spiraling down another rabbit hole of a theme)

Talking about French kit manufacturers, do you know DesKit ? They make 4 resin variants of the FT in 1/35th scale (including the TSF one)

Old resin kit…
I’ve done some Masters for NKC ( M1917 6T, and Unic P107 family ), later HK Models (HK for René Henry- Marc Karr)and at the end, Mopicom( René Henry).
Not bad at all. Correct detailed interior.
