Tamiya300035296 – 1:35 WWII Italian medium tank Carro Armato M13/40 (2)

Not so famous but a good build

great model worth getting thankyou

A good quality kit. Quite basic. Ideal for novices as not very challenging.

Quite a few years ago i made the original Tamiya M13/40 kit, and I enjoyed making it, though the suspension was a bit of a slog. Recently I decided to make another one. This an updated version, with some excellent improvements, including link and length tracks, some well detailed crew figures, a metal gun barrel and some photo-etch. Though the suspension was still a bit of a slog, this was a fun kit to build with the new parts a joy to work with.

No es un molde nuevo al 100% , pero muchas piezas son nuevas o han sido afinadas. Se monta en un suspiro. Trae un pequeño fotograbado y cañón torneado en aluminio. A día de hoy la única opción disponible (no descatalogada ) en plástico a 1/35.

Modello SPET-TA-CO-LA-RE!!!!!! BELLISSIMO!!!!! Kit molto dettagliato con bellissime foto incisioni e alternativa della canna in metallo, fune di traino in cordino nylon e decal per 3 versioni diverse Ariete, littorio e Australiana, cioè preda di guerra dell'8va armata favoloso!!!!!!! Consigliatissimo!!!!!!

Another great offering by Tamiya. This kit bears all of the hallmarks that you've come to expect from Tamiya: Solid exterior detail, clear instructions, minimal flash, near perfect part fit and excellent prices relative to the industry. I should add that I do NOT own Tamiya stock nor am I a member of the board - haha.One cautionary note: Be careful with the 4 "walls" of the superstructure and ensure that all 4 are firmly in place. You'll have to hold these 4 parts together for at least about 60 seconds to ensure proper seal.I had a such a great time re-creating a 1941 era Italian tank in North Africa. I applied a 1st layer of dark brown base coat (versus my typical approach of abblack base coat), added white panel highlights, followed up with a mix of Desert Yellow/Sand color with Khaki camo spots - all via airbrush of course. I then applied a very small amount of sponge weathering, some light & dark dry brush wreathing and finally some small paint brush weathering for scratches and larger chips. I then added some color modulation with artist oils (white and yellow only) and finished up with AK streaking rust enamel. This kit is roughly 95% complete. I would need to apply a final dust coat (airbrush) along with some additional wreathing (with pigment powders) on the tracks, but that will come later if/when this model finds it's way onto a diorama.In closing, I can't help but admire the Italian tankers that had to go to battle in these sub-par weapon systems. Poor dudes.Love this kit. Buy it. Build it. Weather it. Enjoy.Update - June 14, 2022: I was inspired by the excellent work put forth by Robert Kessler below so I decided to upgrade my kit a bit more with recently learned techniques. Proof that these model kits remain a neverending work in progress....
