Info created by General Estienne - photographed, uploaded and nominated by me -- Jebulon (talk) 17:35, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support The famous french tank of the World War One, the "Renault FT 17", on display at the Clairière de l'Armistice in Rethondes, Oise, France. This one is from 1918. -- Jebulon (talk) 17:35, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Question That color scheme of the tank seems quite different from other photos of the FT 17 on Commons? My immediate thought was that it had just returned from a makeover at "Pimp My Tank" as the colors seems quite far away from camouflage colors, and more like: "Here, here, I' m over here!". But as so often before, I am probably mistaken, and there is a perfectly good reason the colors are as they are? --Slaunger (talk) 20:02, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Please see here for reference.--Jebulon (talk) 20:19, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Gee, the colors are authentic. These guys really wanted to be seen! Thanks for the reference.--Slaunger (talk) 20:30, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Remember it was something completely new, even as concept. General Estienne named it "rush artillery", to break the front line quickly, it was an offensive tool, with machine guns and not cannons. I guess amouflage was on this purpose.--Jebulon (talk) 22:43, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
