Renault Char Canon FT-17 - F&A Miniatures 1/48

FT-17 by F&A Miniatures in 1/48. Very nice and quick to build 3D printed kit! My model represents a Royal Yugoslav Army tank from 1st Tank Batallion during the German invasion of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia in April 1941. This tank was used in combat and was captured after being abandoned in Kalinovik, today in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was painted in standard French khaki olive color with ad hoc patches from dry mud (field improvisation). To replicate this I mixed up earth pigment and pigment fixer and applied it with a stiff brush. Before that I of course did all the regular weathering in the form of two tone chips, washes and pigments. Model 22 for 2022.
