Title: 1/48 Opel 3 ton truck - Italeri
Post by: kensar on November 21, 2022, 08:21:17 AM

Finished this up after a long sit on the shelf.  Planning to go into a diorama with a FW190, continuing an Italian theme.

Nicely done Ken. Lovely scheme and realistic weathering. Looking forward to seeing the com0eted scene with the FW.190.

Very fine. Not only the paintwork but the paint scratches are very realistic.

Thank you for the nice comments, gents.  I used AK Interactive chipping fluid with Tamiya acrylics for the main paint colors.
Not sure when I'll get back to WW1 subjects as I have a couple more shelf queens staring at me.

Agree with the comments about the paintwork. I also like the tools in the back.

Wow, that paint work and weathering! It just doesn't look like a model, I can't pay a higher compliment than that. Brilliant!

Thanks, Stephen, Ritchie, and Steve.  I noticed one can see through the truck at the front fenders.  I may put in an inner fender there.  I will also likely get some fuel drums and jerry cans to throw in the back.  Maybe some bombs intended for the FW190.
