Italeri 1:35 scale Semovente M42 Da 75/18

[19kilo]

I always love building lesser known vehicles and aircraft from WWII. This one was a fun build. I free hand brush painted with Tamiya acrylics. Weathering was done using Tamiya Panwl accents and Flory washes. Marking are from the Wehrmacht 278th Infanterie Division in Italy summer of 1944.

That camp scheme looks like it was a bear and a half to pull off. What a great effort and a great finish with a……..hand brush??!!
Wow!!!!

It took a bit of patience to do this pattern. I started with the standard German Dark Yellow base then I did the green pattern and finished with the red brown.

This was the first time I’d found a Semovente kit. It was actually an Italian vehicle, this particular one was taken over by the Germans after the Italian surrender.

I love doing Italian aircraft and vehicles because they do tend to be more rare than other subjects.

This hand painted camo looks amazing. The added weathering really brings it to life

Fantastic work on the camo... always liked those Italian camos which was almost similiar to Japanese camo pattern.
