Thank you for your good words.
The kit is the old - still very good - Italeri one with some PE details.
It is finished as an Italian tank captured and used by the Aussies , during Operation Compass and abandoned later due to mechanical problems.

Excellent job and thanks for sharing indeed. I'm a big fan from Italian armor and vehicles. Which PE details have you used on the tank (from which manufacturer ?)

best wishes
Johan

PE used comes from RCR - an Italian brand. Just basic and not expensive.

Very well done, but if I may, I would like to see a bit more interaction with the tanks and perhaps a little less dead space (Not clutter though) and wires (fallen) attached to the phone pole otherwise, it's kinda superfluous. But like I said, very well executed.

the story behind the dio.
In 1941 the LRDG soldier found the relics of the 1940 battles.
