ITALERI Leopard 1A3


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

 

Ok i know this is a very old kit, i think around 40 years is the construction old, but my intention was to present an old kit which looks still really fine if you try to make a good paint and weathering job, i dont know if i get managed it, its your choice if you like it or not😁

 

The build gets out of the box include the bad vinyl tracks, because we didnt have any Friul, MENG, easy metal, or Bronco tracks in the 70 and 80th, right?

 

For the paint job i use a different range of colours, as Vallejo, Tamiya and Revell and of course i darkening and highlightening( hope this word is correct english ) the colours.

 

Here we go

Thank you Yetifan

 

 as you can also see, the white marks on the board tools, like hammer, saw, ax and shovel, every tank had his own colour of marks within the platoon, so it cannot exchanging with other tanks, and every crew is responsible for their tools

This is stunning - you’ve done a beautiful job of subtly shading and weathering the tank. It reminds me very much of Francois Verlinden’s work and he was a true master of his craft. I love it!

 

cheers,

 

Andrew

Hi mates

 

 thank you so much for your kind comments, i appreciated much.

 

Hi Soeren, well, i use different olive greens which i found in my stash, so it means i have used Tamiya, Revell, Humbrol, Vallejo and Gunze and lighten it with white and yellow or Buff, so you get different shades of olive greens. Instead of drybrushing, by the way, i honour Franqois Verlinden, he was my idol in the end of 70th and start of 80th, it makes me really sad what happened with his company, i used a small brush and paint the raised details straight with lighten colour, or mask different panels example on the skirts and airbrush it in light colour, i also used a fine hair net what girls put in their hairs, and airbrush through the net to get a different texture on the skirts, hope my english grammar is good enough that you understand what i mean.
