Hi, I managed to finish this project, as they leave it on ebay.com.
Model was not easy to build I used it a few parts from outside the system. Italeri acrylics painting, rust comes from the AK and the mud of Vallejo.

Looks really good...is there any possible way you can replace the tracks? They take away from the overall look of the model...

Tracks are not too good, but I've seen worse. They are stuck on permanently.
Thank you for your comment.

I like it, not overdone with the weathering....lower hull is very good.
I'm not usually a fan of rusted tanks but yours is done well, breaks up the mono tone panzer gray.
Nice job and good photos!

Looks amazing! I am doing a similar paintjob for my 7tp (with 37mm turret) used by the provisional government. My grey is alot less bluish though, so I think I have to fix that.
Just wondering, what are your references for this tank? This configuration looks really awesome! The one machinegun turret looks cool, a bit like a Japanese tankette. I have not seen this configuration before though. What was it used for? I love all the vickers based tanks, and have almost every one of them in my stash. Where did you get the turret hole cover? I don't think my one comes with it.

Hi, I found the photographs of abandoned 7TP with two towers in 1939 captured by the Germans, the Germans took over all the tanks. Practically, they were able to remove one of the towers. Paint scheme is a version of the Order as one tower. Paint to paint what I used to acrylic Italerii, the model was shaded or lighter on top, darker on the lower areas.
