ITALERI M113 U.S. Army 1/35


Recommended Posts

Hi friends

 

Sometimes i get feels for old school modeling, without Friuls, without PE parts, such projects which running quickly over the work bench, as we say in german,, a between through,, projects, you can switch off your mind totally, and build up just for fun.

This M 113 was one of those. The build goes quickly coz just small amount of parts and straight of the box

As my old Italeri Leopard, i want just have fun and joy to build this 40 years old kit fast and comes early to my passion the paint and weathering job.

 

Hope you like it

It looks super cool!  Great finish

Just goes to show that all the bells and whistles on a fancy kit don't mean squat if the paint job isn't any good! 


I have a 70s/80s Italeri kit on the way in the mail (Pink Panther Landrover), and hope to do quick build and focus on the paint job type thing.

Very well done, I love the paintjob and weathering. So much variation within one colour. No one would expect this one to be a "between through" (we have a similar expression in Dutch). Old school modelling rocks, not having to worry about time and money consuming aftermarket keeps the focus and momentum going I suppose.

Great model👍,

Cheers,

Ernst.

I have a Tamiya one, Vietnam style, and one aussie with Saladin turret. After a so long time(built in late '80s) some repair have to be made and the intention to transform the vietnamese-style one in an italian one...
