“I purchased this 1/35 scale Tamiya M40-75/18 Semovente at our club meeting for $5,” Steve says. “It was my first try at airbrushing camo freehand. I used Mig pigments for the dust, as well as AK Interactive and artist’s oil washes. The model depicts Italy’s 132nd Armored Division in North Africa in the early 1940s. It was a fun kit to build, and the rubber-band tracks looked good after 30 years in the box. I put the decals in a window to bleach them out.”
