The unusual prototype and scale model. And what a publishing house? Not seen before. Can I ask for a review of the magazine?

Hi
This model was released by the publishing house already non-existent OMIX from Katowice.
This Publishing House has published more than a dozen paper models of airplanes and vehicles.
Presented by me model L6/40 was developed by Marian and Jarosław SOBEL, at 1/25 scale.
These designers have developed later, among other things, the model of TYPE 97 SHINHOTO Chi-Ha for "MODEL HOBBY".

Scans do not reflect exact color, scale of that model.
Model nicely drawn, however, are differences in, the elements of the tower are darker than others.
Also spare parts has been placed on the back cover of the glossy paper and color those parts to significantly different from the others.
The model is simple and very simplified compared to the actual object.
Some elements are simplified and many have not joined in the project. However, the model is very accurate.
Therefore, with the help of available materials I will this model greatly improved in the process of construction.

After the finite elements of the engine cooling system started a chassis and wheels.
Rocker arms were slightly improved, they reached the cover between the control arms, on the side panels glued strips. Wheel covers were of a different color, they were extracted from spare parts to a uniform color.

Done.
Italian tank moves to the salons. Model is simple, to make it closer to the actual object I made many components, not included in the cutout, the other I had to improve. The biggest problem was the choice of color retouching that is not I expected. But it is and enjoy.
