Title: Anzio team Semevonte.
Post by: Feldmarschall Zod on December 25, 2014, 11:47:08 PM: From the Girls und Panzer anime series.

http://gup.wikia.com/wiki/Semovente_da_75/18 (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,

The old Tamiya figures always looked strange. ;D

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.

Post by: Feldmarschall Zod on January 05, 2015, 06:48:56 AM: 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.

Tools & mufflers add legit contrast to already fine build :)

Thanks Frank3k. I love how the old Tamiya kits have no drama building them.

Post by: Antonio Sobral on March 18, 2015, 05:03:38 PM: 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.

Thanks Antonio.

I wanted to make this as close to the anime version as I could. I did go too much on the wash.
