Autoblinda AB 41 1/48 Tamiya


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

This is not my usual part of the forum but I have build this Autoblinda AB 41 in 1/48 scale.

It is a Tamiya box but originaly released by Italeri.

Quite a good kit but the assembly is not as precise as a real Tamiya one!

I build the AB41 from the box. Paint is a mix of XF59 and XF60 followed by a little weathering.

The model scheme is of the Polizia Africa Italiana in Tunisia , early 1943.

Thank you for your attention and keep modelling!

Very nice.  Weathering is nice and restrained and the Italian flag is very well done - colours not too bright, is it a decal or did you paint them on?

 

I do like the AB41, very attractive little vehicle.

Looking at what you've done with this, I think that you should build more armour. Nice job.

You have done a superb job with that. I'm a big fan of 1/48 armour kits and I agree with John - you should definitely build some more! :thumbsup:

Kind regards,

Stix

Thank you, Plastix!

I like building armour but I do not have enough time to build my planes. And, as I am a slow modeler, it is hard to finish as many kits that I would like..!

But I have a nearly finished Panhard VBL on my stash!

Thank you all.

As the others have said, that’s a great looking model and just as convincing as anything in the larger scales.

Thank you very much for your appreciation, Nick!😀
