1:72 M12 SP Gun with M30 Ammo Carrier

Hello everybody!

Last year I’ve been to an air show in Krzesiny, near to my home town of Poznań and as usual I wanted to buy a model kit for a souvenir. Unfortunately the selection was not very good and I ended up buying Italeri’s 1:72 M12 SP Gun - my brother effed up a similar kit many years ago (1:76 Fujmi) and I thought maybe I can get it right now.
After building the M12 I got the apetite to build the M30 ammo carrier for it (each M12 was accompanied by an M30 that carried most of the M12s crew and ammo). To do that I got one sprue from the UM company from Ukraine (they make a model of an M30) and the remainder of the parts was taken from another Italeri’s M12 or scratchbuilt:

The “couple” itself looks like this:

I’d like to thank the UM Company for their help, thanks for looking and have a nice day!

Fantastic work in any scale - but particularly impressive in 1/72. Great looking finish & weathering on both vehicles. Well done Pawel!

My comments echo keavdog’s. This to my eyes is a very realistic portrayal of equipment “in use.” The weathering and paint is spot on, particularly in the little things like the tools and “stuff.” Great job!
