This is the Tamiya M13/40. I built it not soon after it was released in the mid-1970s. A bit of history, I built this before I started painting models much, and washed it with school kid water color! I liked this model enough that it didn't fall to a barrage of firecrackers and I eventually painted it and applied the decals. The tanker was repainted about 15 years ago.

Decent old kit. I've built one or two myself. The sandbag on top of the others looks like it is floating. It should sag down so you can't see under it. Nice job, though.

It's nice to see one of these built-up.

The Italian armor from North Africa is an under-appreciated subject area and played a much more important role than many folks give it credit for.

I'm working on kit-bashing the Tamiya and Italeri kits together (with some changes) to make a M 13/40 myself.

Thanks for sharing!
