1:18 Sturmtiger - Made in Italy!
This is one of my Sturmtiger conversion kits which went to Italy. Piero did a very nice job, using an FOV Tiger. I didn't know if it would work with the FOV version, but it certainly does. Great work, Piero!

Nice kit Gary! Great job on the Sturmtiger Piero!!
I like the FOV Tiger with its zimmerit and the more common road wheels.

He is a great customer of mine as well.
But his last purchase is MIA in shipping right now.
Re: 1:18 Sturmtiger - Made in Italy!
Nice job on the conversion. The FOV tiger looks like it worked very nice. Nice work of blending the paint scheme into the conversion part.

I used the FOV chassis to, but I used the wheels off a 21st cen tiger, those early road wheels were probably only used on maybe two or three of the first prototypes.

Very nice job, Piero. Looks great. Nice easy way to get zimmerit on the chassis by using the FOV tiger. I must try that myself some day.

Re: 1:18 Sturmtiger - Made in Italy!
Impressive work guys, Thats a great kit Gary
Re: 1:18 Sturmtiger - Made in Italy!
Piero, i just noticed your two itallian customs. Really cool. I especially like the tankette. Did you do those from scratch or are they custom kits?
I plan to make an M13/40 and AB41 some day. I have paper model kits that i can scale up and use as patterns to make the models. I'd like to do that little tankette some day too. Nice work.

Hello
Thank for the appreciation. Dont exist 1/18 Italian CV35 tank, like for L6,only in /72 or 1/35, so I'm forced to make it from zero. with stirene plate and other kit parts.
The dimension are extract from pics.
Best regards

Impressive! I love your custom tankette of CV-35, I did a paint job for a book of Chinese version of CV-33 couple years ago that this is one of my favorite tankette.
Have fun with toys forever!

No keep it in the custom area.
Piero your tanketts look great.
Weylen, Did you paint that picture or did you paint a model of the Chinese tankett ?
