2 of the new 1/48
scale military vehicles from Tamiya. Although not aircraft they can easily be
incorporated into a diorama. They are very straightforward kits and will pose no
problems for anyone with a model or two under their belt. The carrier is
the more complex as it has a lot of parts to make up the various compartments,
driving gear and weapons. The Citroen took under 2 hours to complete
including painting, flat coat etc.

All paints are Tamiya.
"German Grey" was used for the car and just panel lines
highlighted with oils. I'm not sure my weathering on the carrier will win
any awards in an armour model contest but it's not too bad. The green came
from Tamiya aerosol, tracks are a mixture of "Flat Earth", "Hull
Red" and drybrushed with "Gun Metal". Panel lines were done with
brown oils and finally a dusting of Tamiya "flat earth"
These were a nice break from
aircraft models. I think I'll do a Panther tank next (in camo?).
AFTER a few aircraft of course!
