Real nice camo scheme.
I believe this was somewhat common for Tanks of WW1 as well.
Impressive you can even paint such tiny tank with a camo like that. 👍
I don't think I could. 😄

Thanks w g!
This is an polish camo from the early 1930's.
It's called "japanese camo"
Since it is a non-standardized pattern, i painted it with the airbrush and outlined it with a brush.

Thank you mates for all your nice comments!
More will follow🙂
A small dio base is just in progress and the painting is also not finished yet.

Hi guys!
Unfortunately, this state is no longer up-to-date.
I made a few mistakes and therefore removed the paint once more.
I thought i would try some chipping around the hatches, but it didn't match the pattern.
After that everything looked a bit chaotic.
Also after the washing the color darkend to much so therefore the surface was difficult to define.
In the next run there is no chipping and i will use a lighter shade of color.
However, the scheme remains the same.

A truly excellent job. and in 1/72. pictures could easily pass as 1/35! respect!

Great result!
The leaves are also very convincing. A lot of details on such a small space. 👍

That looks great. The paintwork is particularly well executed. I guess chipping would be hard to scale down to 1/72. The prototype photo shows the tankette in a fairly clean condition anyway.

I agree with Spanjaard, amazing paintjob and nature imitation!

Fantastic work, Simon! (even more taking into account the nature of the kit itself...)

I'm very glad about your nice comments mates!!
@lukasz: It was the right decision to start again, I like the second attempt a lot better.
@w.g.:the trees are made of small twigs that I smeared with glue and sprinkled with shredded foliage material.
the bushes are from mininature.
@ben: I didn't manage to make the chipping so that it could convince and the overall look didn't suffer.
the picture with the bottle was still the first run before it went wrong.
To all other: thank you so much!

Thanks rui!
The whole dio has found its place on a cap of a paint spray😁(under the woodsheet)

That is the way I like it: unusual subject, flawless modelling, excellent painting, convincing weathering and everything put on a nice dio or vignette. Just a joy to look at.
There is only one thing I do not understand: Why did you put a scale 1:35 figure in front of a 1:72 tank? 😉 😉

Not sure how I missed this before. Excellent work indeed, I really admire the ground work, it looks very realistic to me 👍

I tried to stage something rare well and now I think I did it 😄
