Silver Fox Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 This will my last effort before the New Year and is another of my attempts as NZ armour in Italy. Finding a kit of a Sherman III in my chosen scale is impossible so I had to compromise. The figure in the turret is one of the tall and skinny Tamiya chaps from their Crusader AA tank and is a temporary fixture until I can source a more suitable commander. Thanks for looking and have a great Holiday season. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 sorry, I forgot to say it is a Rubicon kit so nominally 1/56th but remarkably well detailed for its size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The credit for the colours goes to Mike Starmer. I used his mix of Tamiya, 4 parts XF55 2parts of XF49 and one part XF66 with a little extra XF55 to give scale effect for the Light Mud and XF69 for the disrupter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzy Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Great job mate, like the rust effect on the tracks, There are some great images of armour and vehicles in Italy which show just how wet and miserable it could get. Well done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
