Hi Omar,

Nice work. I have an old one of these I'm hoping to re-cycle one day, it's an interesting vehicle.

Hi Alan

I hope you can re-cycle your model. It´s old, but its interesting.

In this moument, I only paint the crew. ( Ariete Division). When I finish the model, I´d decide If I put they in the semovente.

They are:





Bye!!! Omar

The RC1 CA Set...:



The fire extinguish:

Just saw the Zvezda model as well. Very nice work. Will you pose both of these vehicles together? Wll you use the kit tracks or go for aftermarket?
The figures are quite stiff in appearance ... its a pity you didn´t spend some time articulating them a little. But its great to see some life being given to these old kits!!

Frank, I think to put both in the same base. That is the idea until now.
May be you are right about the figures.
I think to use the kit tracks. I wish, They look as real as posible. When I finnish the model We will see The result.

My english is not good enough, Sorry

Omar

Your English is far better than my Spanish!

Thanks Warren

One step more. The racks for MG munitions:

I would question the choice of the Italian uniform colors. A blue color close to Humbrol's RAF Uniform Blue is used alot. There is some variablity in colors as the darker color was bad in North Africa and alternate uniforms were used (including captured British uniforms from a warehouse in Benghazi). The leggings were black leather. Look at this material from a set of paints from Lifecolor.

I created the colors, by mixing some similar colours. In Argentina is very difficult to obtein the kit that you are sowing me. Thanks anyway.

Omar

As Frank noted: It is so nice to see these old kits brought to life again. This business has really developed since the 1980s when I started building Tamiya and Italeri which was available for me at the time.
Your work on the Semovente is going on nicely.
I'll watching this one to see how it develops.

Cheers
