I'm starting 2026 with a model I've done before, the Italian WWII Autoblinda AB-41 armoured car. However, those earlier models were FDM printed, and painted up for the Italians in North Africa.
This time I've printed it on my resin printer, and it is intended for service with the Germans in Italy and/or the Balkans.
So far I have its basic camouflage paint applied. Getting consistent skinny lines with my airbrush is a bit of a task; the paint has to be just right or else spattering or spidering becomes unmanageable. These paints are all from Vallejo.
The base colour is German Green Brown surface primer.
That was dry-brushed with 70847 Dark Sand
Then it was panel-shaded with 70.031 Middlestone and 70.117 Camouflage Brown.
The green disruptive stripes are 70.017 Russian Green 4BO.
The usual Agrax Earthshade pin-washing to bring out detail, and a bit more dry-brushing.
