Sabrejet Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I finished something! Well, almost. I built this Semovente da 90/53, using an old Zvezda kit of the Italian Self-propelled gun M40 75/18 as a starting point. Dark gray bits are Zvezda, with Friulmodel tracks and the rest scratch-built using plans from an old FineScale Modeler magazine. Paint at the moment is a light sand scheme but I see that multi-colour camouflage was worn by these SPG's so I will maybe do that as a future project, plus add some weathering and a better wash. For now I'm happy to have something that looks roughly like it's meant to. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Have to say that this is a new one on me but that's a cracking build. Doing all of those rivets/bolt heads must have been fun. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 What the others said! It almost seems a shame to paint it! It would look lovely just sprayed aluminium and given a dark wash. Why haven't I seen anyone do that to an AFV? Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 Thanks all for your kind comments: I don't do that many AFV's but like something a bit different if I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
