From the moment I laid eyes on these photos of the M108 model by Italeri, what really grabbed me was the weathering. Nikolay’s approach adds a genuine sense of history to the model, as if it’s just rolled through a dusty battlefield. The subtle rust effects and dirt around the tracks? They’re just right, lending the tank an aged, battle-worn look without overdoing it.
Talking about the real M108, it’s quite the piece of history. This self-propelled howitzer was introduced in the 1960s and saw its fair share of action during the Vietnam War. Its design was focused on providing quick, mobile artillery support, which was a significant tactical advantage back then. It’s always fascinating how such models bring those historical details back to life on a smaller scale.
In terms of the build itself, I think what makes this model truly stand out is how it combines accuracy with character. The paint job is solid, highlighting the tank’s distinct features, while the weathering adds that extra layer of storytelling. This piece is not just a static representation; it’s a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a remarkable machine.
