discussion Scotties finished 3Ro

[scottie3158]

Hi not sure if this is correct here or should be in soft skins. Admin please move if in the wrong place.

A couple of photos and You will be happy it is just a few, of the completed 3Ro Autocannone 90/56. The build was a mixed bag but overall despite my initial reservations it was a good kit a little over simplified in places but it went together well. The biggest problem is finding references for Italian kit.

Next a simple base, so until that is done the truck.


I'm glad that I took the time to steer the front wheels I think it looks a bit better than straight ahead.



The hairspray effect on the turntable to show the wear is now pretty much lost after the application of graphite but I think it looks ok.







Finally an ammunition crate, again I couldn't find an Italian one so a generic crate was made from some very thin wood that came with the Rolls Royce armoured car I did last year.



Thanks again for your support and great comments and likes during the build.

cheers
Scottie

Terrific stuff Paul.
Really nice finish. So many models I see are usually chipped and weathered to death. Yours is spot on.

Excellent result. :thumb2:
