1/72 Italeri (ex-ESCI) GMC M12 Gun Motor Carriage, B Battery, 557th AFAB, Germany 1945
Old Esci mold with updated tracks, re-released by Italeri. Actually one of their constellation of very enjoyable little armour. I used mission model paints, this time, probably last time. Came to understanding that my really little skills do not allow for the same airbrush control with acrylics and Mission Models 'system' is definitely not my cup of tea. Minimal weathering and muddying.
Enjoy,
Marek

I did, very nice model!
Thanks for sharing.
I really like the subtle weathering and the very realistic mud residues on the (thing that will support while firing and looks like the thing on the front of a construction site Caterpillar... )

Lovely looking build Marek!
I had the Esci one as a kid so nice to see the old thing still stands up to scrutiny.

Really good work. I like those decals especially, they bring
everything together.

Great build - think I might have botched this together when it first came out under the Esci label - yours is much better and I love your dirst...
Please critique my posts honestly i.e. say what you think so I can learn and improve...

That is just astonishing for 1/72. I thought it was 1/35, initially. Well done.
Would ya like to learn to fly? Would ya? Would you like to see me try?
