M14/41 – Assembling & painting

Assembling and painting of my model of M14/41, an Italian medium tank widely used in North Africa from 1941 to 1943.

This model represents the M14/41, a medium tank used by the Italian Royal Army during the Second World War. Since it fought mainly in North Africa, I chose to give it a desert camouflage. In this post I will show the phases of assembling and painting.

Tiger II – Camouflage painting

Painting the camo scheme of this Tiger II was quite funny: I chose the typical late-war “ambush camouflage”, or “Hinterhalt-Tarnung”.

Some years ago, during a fair, I stumbled upon this Tiger II kit: this vehicle has always fascinated me, and which often sported some camouflage more interesting than usual. I chose a three-tone (yellow, red and green) scheme with spots of different colors, the so-called ambush camouflage —or Hinterhalt-Tarnung in German.
