Hello,

I have put the basecoat on the Autoblinda, Tamiya desert yellow, and have also tried to age the base colour slightly by lightening with white and building up layers. It will recieve further ageing and weathering at a later stage.

First few pics just in basecoat - the rest after the ageing process

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks Martin, I appreciate your comments. I love the way the Italians can design something functional but it still manages to look like it came out of a sports car factory. I does make me laugh that it looks fastest when reversing! Gotta love the way the late '30s/early '40s Italian army pre-planned their retreats!
