Description AVANTI SAVOIA! wait wrong war
The M13-40 was the first italian made tank to offer any real value to the Italian Army. It with its other variants, like the M14/41 and M15/42, became the most common Italian tank during the war.  the M13-40 first found itself fighting in Greece, and later in North Africa, then Sicily and mainland Italy. Often at an attempt for extra protection,sandbags would be placed onto the tank. 

This was mad fun to draw, and with this being Italian I just had to draw a dude with a black plume on his hat like the bersaglieri, what other army on earth do you know would do something like stylish in #1940? 

I might just go ahead and finish out the italian tanks, with a semovente 75/18 and a P40. Or do a Hungarian Turan 2, not sure yet

The lineart for this and the other tanks, can be found on my instagram www.instagram.com/picture_panz…

Fun fact the Australians captured these tanks and they’d paint kangaroos on the side and use them in battle here’s a pic of it en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:C…

YUP! I'm aware of it! 

Fun fact, there is a game, old but great game called Panzer Front Ausf B on the PS2

IT largely focused on tank warfare and was pretty accurate, with those australian captured tanks in the game

Somehow you've made the Iron Coffin look brave, and that's usually impossible.  Well done.

For all they may have lacked during the war, the Italians sure had style and your tank commander knows it! Just look at his smile. He's probably looking out at a sea of Matilda II's and Churchills that he can't even scratch and thinking, "Ah well, at least my hat is cooler than yours!"

i suspect that hat offers a bit more protection than a beret

Pith helmets were a little safe, but at the end of the day they're not the best for combat

Yeah, you have to hand it to the Italians that they had style.

Arjay-the-Lionheart In reply to MisterLuK [2018-05-06 23:39:38 +0000 UTC]

thanks it was my first time airbrushing the camo on, usually id use a hard brush to lay it, then blur and fade it. The airbush tool is just easier and more versatile!

MisterLuK In reply to Arjay-the-Lionheart [2018-05-07 06:52:40 +0000 UTC]

Airbrush is used alot on scale models. It looks much more realistic.

It's been a while since I did my last model, but I don't use airbrush.
