M13/40 – Test Paint

Here's my 1:100 Fiat M13/40 model, printed and painted, along with a couple of Battlefront 15mm Italians.

Overall I'm reasonably happy with it, but I'd like to fine-tune the gun barrel a bit — the step-down in thickness shouldn't be quite so marked. That'll be easy enough to do.

A few days later...

Here's the whole troop of M13/40 completed. You can see the modified gun barrel on the left and centre models; they look a lot less clunky now.

The tactical markings may be of limited usefulness for tabletop identification, considering the parlous state of my eyesight.
