Well done. I'm hoping Italeri does a rerelease of the kit!

Thanks everyone - was a really, really nice kit - I don't do many 1/35 armour kits but to me it was a beautifully fitting kit.

Album info

Well when I saw thiawesome desert vehicle with that daunting camoflage I just had to attempt it - My 1st 1/35 scale vehicle and man was I impressed with Italeri. What a great kit.

Started with assembly on the drive train and the body and not any issues anywhere.

Tried some rust effects on the exhaust by thinning Tamiya putty with Tamiya extra thin and daring that onto the exhaust with an old toothbrush - gave a very nice effect.

The main Breda 47/32 AT gun comes with a metal barrel which is a nice addition and the kit comes with some PE too.

Did some preshading in brown to try bring out some of the detail, then thin layers of the base colour.

The only way I could think to do the camo was freehand so off I went

I did some chipping with a sponge which I really found great and effective

And then finished it off with all the bits and pieces, Loved this vehicle, had a lot of fun with it and was very happy with how it turned out - thanks for reading.
