SPA Modeler

After I let the superstructure dry in place, I camouflage painted that, plus painted the bare metal areas on the gun recoil slide and breech block





The next day I airbrushed on a gloss coat, Tamiya Gloss Clear, and then the next day I added the decals... not too many there





So now this project is all caught up on here to my current point...

Magnificent!

Wow… that’s really nice!

Looking good, Carlos. Not much protection from the back, is there. I suppose these were usually back a bit from the point of contact?

Thanks guys!

Being a self propelled anti tank gun, its main purpose would be in defensive positions covering likely avenues of approach for enemy armor. So ideally emplaced a short distance back from the line of contact. In offense, they could be employed in overwatch positions to support by fire any advancing elements. The armor is mostly meant for protection from artillery fire fragments and small arms fire, nothing really heavier than that. Employing these where enemy infantry can get close enough to use rifle grenades or hand grenades means you're too close.

And she's packing a mean gun!

Today was a case of airbrush, airbrush, and more airbrush... on this project I had recently applied a wash, and then cleaned it up... Today was airbrushing on a coat of flat clear





next up is final stowage and final weathering,,, plus I still need to add the radio antenna

and my most recent work on this Spitfire

I applied and cleaned up a panel line wash


and then today I airbrushed on the flat coat


finally closing in on the finish line with this one...

The Spitfire and ground targets look really good

Nice! Well done.
