Carro Armato M13/40

There was a gap between the fighting compartment and the rest of the chassis top. 

I added some plasticard to push the fighting compartment forward 0.8mm. 

The fit was much better. 

I also added an aerial bracket missing from the kit. 

Initial paint was OK, but I didn't get the airbrush pressure right for the Field Gray. 

 

Pigment mixed with water added to corners and seams and then brushed away to exagerate the profiles. 

More pigment used to add rust to the exhausts. 

Two of the fuel cans from the kit were tied to the tool stand.  

Just the edges of the pigment to tidy up and some dry brushing on hatch openings, before the final flat coat.
