    Another beauty started, Anthony @anthonyricco
    For sure you will do this kit justice with your modelling skills.
    Looking forward to it.

    Thanks a lot @johnb, I hope so the camo is going to be a challenge.

    This is what I like about scale modeling...I have never seen this fighting vehicle before today! I can't even tell which is the front and which is the back from the pic. Or even which axis army it belongs to. Can't wait to see your progress on this critter.

    Thanks @j-healy, yeah an interesting one indeed an I can't believe it's size - here it is next to a jeep and a walker bulldog.

    Thanks @adamcda13 - yeah you are right, there is always something popping up you've never seen before, this is and Italian vehicle, and the front - well thats the direction that the pointy shooty thingy goes in haha, I'm waiting for the instructions to tell me.

    Hi All, been on holiday so haven't posted much here are some updates on the build.
    The build is pretty much done now - all the parts off the sprues and together.
    I used Tamiya Putty and extra thin on the exhaust to give it a rough rusty look to it.
    Preshading was done on the vehicle, although I'm not too sure how much effect it has with the camo over it, however I think it looks nice with only the sand colour.

    Always good to have a break from time to time, Anthony @anthonyricco
    The rusty looks are really impressive.
