1/72 STRV 103 Winter Camo

[CzarPeppers]

I got this kit at the time mainly because it was cheap, but it didn't take long after I started building it to realize it was an extremely nice and detailed little kit for 1/72. So I decided to do something a little special with the winter camo pattern.

Very nice Strv103, especially considering the small scale

My favourite version, I think? (103B).  The fence on the C spoils the lines for me.  Brå!

Many thanks to all. 

 

One of these days I would like to do the 1/35 103C with the Swedish camo pattern, I've always liked these s-tanks. 

 

And for anyone who may be interested, the mud and dirt first was done by:

 

1st, a very highly thinned XF-72 sprayed on the underside of the tank, sides around the road wheels etc and then a bit further up on the skirts for fording.  

 

2nd, application of AK's Earth Effects which I then blended into the XF-72 with a brush and enamel thinner. 

 

3rd was a mix of gypsum, PVA glue, saw dust, water and AK's Dark Earth pigment (although I wish I had made it a bit thicker) which was applied by brush and I blended with some distilled water. 

 

Last of all I added some variation to the mud and dirt by applying touches of AK's European Earth.
