Anzio team Semevonte.
« on: December 25, 2014, 11:47:08 PM »
From the Girls und Panzer anime series.

http://gup.wikia.com/wiki/Semovente_da_75/18 Not sure how close to matching the sand color I can get.

I am using the Tamiya Semevonte. I got this as part of a Secret Santa from SMA. The box says it comes with a PE set. It does not. It does come with link and length tracks. I will be replacing the Jerry cans,

This is an older Tamiya kit, but builds up nicely and quickly. I used the rubber band tracks and they were fine. It has a "detailed" interior (for the day), although the figures look strange.

The old Tamiya figures always looked strange. ;D

I finally had some time dping some building finally after coming back on the road. I drilled the holes out on the muzzle brake. I forgot what fun and easy it is to build these older Tamiya kits. No drama with them. This kit goes back to 1974. :o

No kidding. If HobbyBoss made this kit now, it would have 800 parts and a sheet of tiny PE parts that'll never be seen. The details may be simplified in some areas, but the tank looks great when finished.

I added Italeri Jerry cans. Hoping to paint her tomorrow.

After watching the Anzio battle again,to see what colors were used on the tank tools,I noticed a third Jerry can on the left side. So today,I added another one. I will respray when I can get into warmer weather.

Looked done to me.  Wouldn't thought of dust, but am not an armor builder.
Tools & mufflers add legit contrast to already fine build :)

Nice work on that Semovente! (semovente means self-moving in Italian, not "semevonte" :)).

I would add some dust on the tracks, and also some graphite pencil on its surface , though.
