M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 BOX PACKAGE It’s a 1/35 scale Italeri Gun Truck. It is an armed M939 5-ton truck. The box painting is probably a vehicle used during the Gulf War.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 MAKING I made Big Foot before, so I’ll remember the general points. First, attach various parts of the lower part of the truck chassis.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 MAKINGI first glued the chassis frame and driver compartment floor parts, which is a little different from the instruction manual procedure. It isn’t easy to locate the glue on the large parts.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 MAKINGI don’t like the tire parts of this Italeri kit. I forgot if it was a Bronco or a Trumpeter. I tried to put on Michelin tires that were cast from HEMTT series kits in the past. I think it’s a bit bigger than the standard, but I use it because I prefer a sturdy look. I have a little lousy shaping, but I don’t care.

I don’t think the iron plate-covered fighting booth is just hooked up to the carrier by wire, but if it’s not firmly welded, it will slip off and fall off while moving.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 PAINTING M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 PAINTING I blew a bright color to try gradation painting. But this time, it’s camouflage paint, and this military truck doesn’t have much camouflage area, so that it might be meaningless.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 PAINTING I tried to paint wooden floorboards with water-based paint. The color choice was not so good. It dries quickly and doesn’t blend well.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 PAINTING There were some oil colors that I was going to throw away because I thought I didn’t need them anymore when I moved. After all, I use this Yellow Ocher, Brown Ocher, and Raw Umber, which I decided to keep because they are not bulky. I’m glad I didn’t throw them away.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 PAINTINGIt’s better than the previous picture. I think the color and gloss will change slightly because I will do light weathering.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 MAKING RATION BOX I think Italeri should prepare a lot of spare ammunition cases whose name is a Gun-truck. Sadly, there are no accessories at all. Place a box of combat rations from Tamiya’s Modern U.S. Military Equipment Set. Some parts of the ammunition case were in the set, but most were 40 mm ammunition cases, and only 2 were 12.7 mm ammunition cases.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 MAKING RATION BOX It’s like half fun and half hardship. I don’t feel like making 30 or 40 boxes.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 MAKING RATION BOXThis is enough for this time. The finish is different, and it will be a little accent. The moon mark side of the box may have something to do with the Islamic religion.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 MAKING Strangely, I can’t fit the wiper with a beautiful fan shape. The dust marks on the wipers were made by tracing the lids of plastic bottles several times before. Now I have a Voyager masking stencil, so it’s a little easier.

I used Vallejo Cavalry Brown. I didn’t have this color. It’s too much trouble to buy just one. I bought it while I stopped around Akihabara. Mixing this color didn’t seem easy, so I’m glad I bought it.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 FINISHED WORK M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 FINISHED WORK Bulletproof plates seem to be simple ones made by welding iron plates. Is this reddish-brown primer? I think it’s good to draw rust because it changes the appearance of the modeling.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 FINISHED WORK M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 FINISHED WORK When I use a mixture of pastel and enamel paint for washing, I don’t know the reveal of the weathering right after the paint, and after a while, it dries too bright, and I sometimes get a shock. Even if it is a single work, this much weathering is OK. I thought I did it today, but it would be good later.

M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 FINISHED WORK M-923 U.S. ARMORED GUN TRUCK ITALERI 1/35 FINISHED WORKThe Gun Truck had a lot of work to do. It plays an important role in escorting truck convoys. When it’s completed, it’s quite a powerful-looking truck. I think 2 x 12.7 mm machine guns are not powerful, but it was effective for the local guerrillas.
