Hi again ppl. Yep, a Bronco kit again. (Pray for my soul.... 😛) CV 33. The little tankette from Italy. Italy attacked Greece in 28th October 1940. Till then, there was no tank branch in the Greek army. Orders were placed in 39 but due to the war having started none was available. So it is a bit funny, that the country that dragged Greece in WWII, was actually the one to "donate" the tanks in order for the first tank division to be created. The XIX division. It was armed with CV33s, M13/40s and Universal Carriers. A lot of Carro Veloces were used as soon as they were captured without being sent to the rear, but most were. In November 1940 in a single battle more than 50 CVs were captured intact along side with M13/40s. Painting is simple, just a dark green with a national insignia at the back. And then some had some nice graffiti.

Thanks guys for dropping by. I am glad you like the choice of subject. Classic Bronco kit. Way too many parts for no actual reason... Anyway. Fit is good. Detail is superb. Things are looking good so far. It is a full interior kit, so a lot of very small parts in a very small tankette.

Btw it looks very Tristar. I was thinking the same.
But that's some great detailing that will never be seen... I have a feeling the tracks will be a nightmare of tiny single links..

Hi again. There was some progress although i don't really like it. Fit isn 't all that good for the hull pieces. They took a lot of work. And yes. Nothing is visible when complete....
