1/72 kit by Hasegawa is base for this model. The chassis, the hull and
the turret are practically without bigger modifications. The tool boxes
placed on the hull, the silencers, the smoke grenade launchers, the
lights on the mudguards and their guards (made of beer tin sheet), the
hauling rope (the knot of copper wire) are new. Other small details as
the hatch support on the turret, the machinegun ammunition box, the
fastening straps (made of cigarette paper),the tarpaulin (made of toilet
paper), the rods fixed on right mudguard (cut wooden slat), the helmets
on the lights and on the smoke grenade launchers (cut from figures by
Airfix) and the antenna (made of copper wire) are also new. The decals are printed using the methods described in the "Tips & Tricks" section. The camouflage has been airbrushed with Humbrol 93 paint and painted with thinned sand paint to get sand patina. |
