The Renault FT (frequently referred to in post-World War I literature as the FT-17, FT17, or similar) was a French light tank that was among the most revolutionary and influential tank designs in history. The FT was the first production tank to have its armament within a fully rotating turret.[note 1:Although a rotating turret had been a feature of some earlier tank designs or prototypes, and had been incorporated in armoured cars for several years, no tank with a turret had entered service.] The Renault FT's configuration – crew compartment at the front, engine compartment at the back, and main armament in a revolving turret – became and remains the standard tank layout. Consequently, some historians[citation needed] of armoured warfare have called the Renault FT the world's first modern tank.[1]

Great build btw :3
a funny story that I came up with:
German/French front. 19-something:
Commander: spots German PZ gunner! Target spotted, distance 500 yards. Loader, load AP!
Loader: I can’t sir! We’re out of ammunition!
Commander: What do you mean?!
Loader: WE RAN OUT OF AMMO SOME HOW
Drive: grabs a baguette out of a basket and eats it
Commander: I have an idea, Louis! Give me a baguette please!
Driver: hands commander a baguette
Commander: loader, you think you can load a baguette into the breach?
Loader: I can try!
Loader: successfully loads baguette UP!
Commander: gunner, target closing, 150 yards, fire!
Gunner: ON THE WAY! fires gun
Panzer commander: OH SHI- explodes
Gunner: target down, sir!
Commander: good show!
Yep, they just shot a baguette at a panzer and won.
