Romanian T1 Tankettes

I have had a single tankette for years and always hoped to acquire a couple more, but never managed to find any affordable one. With the arrival of my 3D printer I could realise my ambition, so here are my reinforcements.
They really are small, see the picture below with their bigger cousin.

Yhe rivets seem a bit too big, but these models are cool

Are these the same as the R-1, based on a Czech design? If so, 20 of them survived the war and were sold to Ethiopia and used until the 1980's - could make for an interesting modern game.

Handy for Stalingrad too, although T-34s are going to make an awful mess of them.

Cheers, Andy

Sowabad, yes the rivets are oversized, the models themselves are scaled up from 15mm, which makes it more obvious

Andy, yes based on the Czech AH-IV, so they can be used by Iranians, Ethiopians and Swedes as well.

Will, but for wargames they are pretty good. I admire your patience to learn how to print the models. And admire the results. 👍

God job, the rivets need to be exaggerated or they get lost. Nice to see you fill up the gaps in your planned collection by printing!
