Semovente M40 (Tamiya 1/35)

Hi folks,

some pics of my latest model, my first Italian tank (after doing a lot of German monsters, i barely can call it a tank... ), in North Africa. I had no time enough to do a WIP of my work, but I got some remarks :

- The lower and upper hulls are really easy to assemble, no need for putty.
- The interior is really good detailed for a model "out of the box", I don't know if it needs more gear inside, I did not find pictures of the inside of the real tank. Still, it's pretty good.
- The amont of details is great, for such an old model. The Breda MG is cool too.
- The track are pre-shaped, and it's a real pain in the ass to glue.

Enough words, here are the pics :







If you're interested by some painting details : the camo is made with Tamiya XF60. The chipping is a mix of Model Color, or Prince August for us Frenchies (German black brown, flat brown), the exhaust pipes are painted in MC Flat brown, then chipped with MC Orange brown, received a wash of Mig Prod "standard rust" and finally some Tamiya Flat Brown (airbrush).
I tried to make rust with my airbrush after seeing Mig Jimenez work (his DVD for AFV), i'm quite happy with the result.
