   1/35 scale M-42 Duster twin 40mm Hellenic Army

SPG - Self Propelled anti aircraft Gun model by Tamiya

That's an almost 20 years old scale model project of mine, built in only few hours. The model represent one of the M-42 Duster twin 40mm SPGs, used to operate with Hellenic Army colours. In fact, I found this M-42 Duster with exact s/n, stationed on Tsimandria beach at the island of Lemnos back in 1992, propably under some Army artillery movements for onshore protection versus LCVPs. Because I have no experience in AFVs or tanks, I took few pictures to avoid possible mistakes while building this model and relied exclusively on these photographs to build it. The M-42, was as dusty as it looks in scale, with the downward .50" BMG as you see, spare barrels, etc.

	Hello, It looks like your paint is gloss or the light is too much on the photo, I do not know which one. Naturally the tank should be mat on finish. Other then very nice paint job. Well done.

	*Orjinalini yazan: KFKF* It looks like your paint is gloss or the light is too much on the photo, I do not know which one. Naturally the tank should be mat on finish. Yes, you are right, the paint does look shiny. It is not gloss, but it is not matt either, that's why it reflects light. I must spray a matt coat over. Keep in mind, that this model was made almost 20 years before, it was my first AFV scale model and possibly the last one. After all, I always prefered aircraft & helicopters scale models - feel free to click HERE and HERE to check my other "aviation related" projects. For the above reason, I cannot claim myself as AFV modeler at all. Have a look on the following pictures taken at the Hellenic Army museum. Keep in mind that there are two different M-42s at the following pictures, with two different camouflage patterns. Ofcourse there is an official printed TM (Technical Manual) which defines exact FS colours and camouflage pattern, but some times the paint shop personnel express their art feelings. Additionally, the side turret markings are missing on these museum samples, but the active duty M-42s, did have Hellenic Army side markings, as presented on the scale model.
