1/35 Carro Armato SOMUA

1/35 Tamiya kit with DEF metal barrel, PE & cast markings, PanzerArt Cupola and Fruilmodel metal tracks.

First armor model completed. Average Tamiya kit: quite easy with great details.

Painted in the colors of the CC Tank Battalion S35 sometime in 1942 (with some educated guesses regarding markings) , I used Tamiya acrylics to create my own mix of “Grigio Verde scuro”, and weathered using a multitude of Tamiya, AK, MiG and oil products.

Overall, really happy with how it came out, tried a lot of new things I had watched other armor modelers do, and while not perfect, I am looking forward to trying again!

Apologies for the seemingly random composition of pictures, just wanted to try different lightings and backgrounds.
