FT17 welded turret MG

£5.52

Description

The original complex cast turret was expensive and slow to manufacture, so later FT production switched to a simpler riveted or welded turret design (sometimes called the “Omnibus” turret) to speed up wartime output – a practical cost-cutting measure rather than a combat improvement.
