IBG V3000S TRUCK AND V3000SM MAULTIER

These trucks from IBG were built by my mum and I.

1) The Ford Maultier with Flak 38 was built by me and is my latest completion of the year, I managed to finish it yesterday evening just in time to be counted as a 2023 build.

It was painted with Ak Real Colors acrylics and weathered with Tamiya enamel washes and weathering powders.

Some modifications were made to the model:

-The headlights were drilled out,  painted chrome (on the inside), then light bulbs made from transparent sprue were added and finally the lenses were made with Ak crystal magic glue.

-A Photo-Etched window wiper from Brengun was used.

-The windows on the door do not come with the kit, so I cut them out from a piece of transparent plastic card.

- Although you might not be able to see it, decals which were not included in the kit and which were stolen from some spare aircraft decal sheets were added to the car's instrument panel.

The figures are from Zvezda.

2) The Truck was built by my mum a few months ago, it was built straight out of the box and painted with Tamiya acrylics, the weathering was done with Abteilung 502 oils.

I was inspired to build this model after seeing her build hers, I am very pleased that our collection of 1/72 vehichles is growing.

Happy New Year to all and may your scale modelling wishes come true!
