Deweycat French D1 Tank - 28mm

Bolt Action players fielding an early war French army are offered a dizzying choice of light and medium tanks. One overlooked option is the D1. The D1, unlike the later D2, is not tagged as “unreliable” and offers a light ATG, 8+ armour, and in addition to the coaxial MMG the D1 also has a hull MMG. It provides a good balanced package to the French army platoon in Bolt Action.

I did up a series of .stls for printing the D1 in 28mm, with files each specific for FDM and resin printing.

Both packages offer the radio antenna and trench crossing tail, which should be considered optional, as you will see in many historical photos, the D1 tanks in action in 1940 operated both with and without the antennas and tails.

FDM:
Print on fine (no more than .12mm layers) settings, with full supports. Please remove support material carefully and test fit before gluing.
** the radio antenna contacts at three points. There are small grooves in the contact points to allow for the protruding bolts **
Resin:
The test print photo’d was printed at .05mm with Elegoo “ABS-like standard” resin.
