Put the finishing touches on this baby this afternoon - the boys at the SIG meeting yesterday saw me beavering away on it. Thoroughly enjoyed it, my first 1/35 armour kit in 10 years. Of course, now that I've taken the pictures I notice half a dozen things that need correcting! :banghead:
The tracks are a little bit saggy because the Italeri vinyl didn't like the Mig thinners I used to apply the sand pigments with....whoops! I'll probly reposition the commander as well, his hands are in a bit of a limbo where they are right now.

Always like the crusader and cruiser tanks.
they have that multi turret land dreadaught look about them. WWII well and truely killed that as a concept.
Nice one.
Think I might have to get myself one. Is it a new tooling or some rehash?
Well done Nev! If I listen close, I can hear the theme from "Rat Patrol" in the distance.

Outstanding, Nev! As for the hands in limbo, instead of repositioning the figure, might I suggest simply placing a rolled up, scale map into his two palms?
This is one seriously good build! :wub:
It looks good, Nev.
It was obvious you were enjoying the build on Saturday......many more to come, I hope :D
QuoteThink I might have to get myself one. Is it a new tooling or some rehash?
No, it's about 30 yrs old! Its like a lot of Italeri's older kits, not as good as the latest Dragon uber-kits (obviously), but a good base to work with. And, being Italeri, it's cheap as chips. Ideal for beginners, kids and whiffing ;) I certainly enjoyed it, went together with nary a problem.

Great idea Baz, and its just reminded me of my
original plan, which was to have a pair of Bino's in one hand, and a mug of tea in the other :dum:
Nev that model is good enough to grace the pages of Millitary Modelling - glad I saw it in the flesh so to speak

Quotereposition the commander as well, his hands are in a bit of a limbo where they are right now.
Put a fezz on him with a bit of milliput......................"just like that"
Dont be the thing I'm not allowed to say yourself it looks good. :cheers:
Great job Nev, like I said at Donnie, your a better modeller than you give yourself credit for. It really is a first class job.
Simon. :cheers:
