Italeri Carro Armato M13/40

Post by celt »

I built and painted this model in 24 hours.As usual all painting was done by brush and Humbrol acrylics were the paint of choice.A little dry brushing to bring out the details and mounted on another of my wife's coasters.

Nice one Celt, that looks great and it's good to see an Italian AFV for a change. I'm guessing at 1/76th or 1/72nd scale?

Looks like it's been through a sand storm or two.

It was a quick but very enjoyable build,I can not handle all these weathering powders and paints,I will leave that to better modellers than me.I just dry brush to bring out the details.

Very nicely done; it looks like it's been sand blasted by a good few sand storms
Best wishes

Very nice work! The chipping on the paint looks amazing. Must have been difficult, especially in 1:72 scale!

The coaster makes a great base, too!
