I'm continuing to sort through the bounty of my trade with Tim in Saskatoon. I decided to deal with the Italians, starting with the armour. The tank on the right is a 1/72-scale L6/40 tankette armed with a 20mm cannon. It arrived painted and I matched the rest of the paint scheme to this one.
In retrospect, a plain beige paint scheme might have been better for the desert. The limited detail on the kits suggested the disruptive scheme. Meh. The tank on the left (above) is a command variant of the M13/40 (I think). It also appears below with a turreted version. These are resin kits although I think I also have a plastic Esci kit somewhere.
Up next: The Italian infantry are just drying and I'll post them in a few days.
Nice job! I'm so glad to see this stuff getting painted after it sat in my basement for so many years!
ReplyDeleteI think it was called a Carro Commando - and yes it's a turretless command variant.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim. I'm enjoying the painting. Damned, there are a lot of British airborne!
ReplyDeleteInteresting tanks - I like the camo work too.
