Fabio

I like this piece. The interior looks great. I love the instrument panel. I only have two things as far as comments go. I think this piece really needs to be on a base with some sand. I think it would really bring out the look of the kit. Lastly and this one is just a matter of taste. I believe for a combat vehicle its a bit to clean. Maybe a oil stain or two, maybe some gas / water cans, or some extra gear. The way I've always looked at it is take the crew size be it whatever 3, 4, 5 e.t.c. and figure out some personal stuff, plus extra gear, food e.t.c. Its all got to go somewhere, and from the look there was not much room inside. These are just my little picks, and I'm not even close to being any kind of expert.
Congrats on a good build.

Excellent model. I really like the detail and weathering. The unique license plate is also a great touch.

Great model! You did a good job on that one. As pointed out earlier it could do with some extra stowage, but that is a matter of personal taste.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for your kind words guys!!! Sorry for the late answer, but as usual I'm always on the move and not always I have Internet access.
Actually this semovente has a "twin". One of the two will be on a rimorchio Viberti (trailer) almost finished that will be attached to a Fiat 666 that will also carry one of the two semoventi. The scene is at the training premises of the Cavalleggeri di Lodi in Baudenasca (near Pinerolo - Torino) before the unit was sent to North Africa, so all of the vehicles are almost new. I relly hope that the truck will be released soon...
Ciao and thanks again
Fabio
