I'd like to share with you pics of my latest model, Belgian self-propelled gun T-13 type I. The model is by Retrokit, made out of the box, only the barrel of the machine gun is made of wire as well as holders of turret's roof. The model is painted by Vallejo acrylics, weathered by Winsor & Newton oils, Zvezda acrylics and Winsor & Newton and Faber Castel dry pastels. Insignia is painted by hand. Once again sorry for out-of-balanced photos.

Wow! What an interesting little vehicle! Am I right in thinking that the gun is oriented towards the rear?

I like your finish, but I have one question. Did you use a bright silver to simulate the metal parts of the track, or is that just some paint rubbing off and the plastic showing through? This is a very common problem on my 1/72 armor kits for some reason.

I agree it's very interesting and very nicely built! I wonder when Tamiya will do one in 1/35.
