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.

Hi Scottie
That is excellent in every respect. Painting and weathering is spot on. As John said on the build thread - "your best yet".
