Supermodel CR 32

An old kit that I was able to get at a fairly good price - kits of the Fiat 32 and 42 are fairly rare in South Africa. Its been primed and needs to be painted. I just hope the decals are still good. This will be air support for my Italians.

Strelets and SHQ UDF (South African WW2)

SHQ - helmet not quite right, but still lovely figures

Did these a while ago, and  satisfied with the way they came out. After painting they were  dipped with Army Painter Quickshade strongtone and they were left to dry for a couple of days. The Quickshae helps a lot to improve the general look of the figures - but then you have to hit them with matte varnish to take away the shine. This was the first time I had used the Quickshade and overall I was very happy with the outcome. I still have a medium mortar, vickers mg team and some gunners to do up, all from SHQ as the Strelets set does not include those. Also left to up is the Strelets Officer and mg teams, lewis guns not brens though. Which is fine for Early War. I also intend giving these lads a spin against the Japanese, in a fictional invasion of Madagascar by the Japanese.

Japanese LMG position with trench, from Frontline Wargaming, 20mm or 1/76 or 1/72. Some static grass was added.

Great product and very easy to paint up. The resin model was based on on plastic card, primed and painted.

WW2 East Africa - Italians

Two Italian tankettes - from Frontline.

S Models flamethrower tank, infantry gun from Mirliton and Italeri/Waterloo 1815 plastic mg.

 

Tank from Frontline, at rifle from Mirliton and mg from Caesar.

All of the above were painted a while ago. These still need some work but I am satisfied with the progress so far, there is also quite a bit of infantry completed - mostly plastics. To be used for CoC or IABSM and Battlegroup Tobruk.
