Fiat 2000 1919 tank in 1/72 scale

[Uyraell]

Both grey and camo are, convincing, Corey.
The viewer easily recognises the Fiat 2000 Tank, and your layout of parts is easy to understand.

To be honest, I think you've got it dead right with your first shot, as it were.

I certainly like the look of both versions, though I do wonder if there was not a plain sand/yellow-brown colouring, such as was used on the redesigned FT, the Fiat 3000 as deployed to Sicily. No reference I know of even hints at this, but it would be odd had the Italians not coloured at least one Fiat 2000 in such a way, if only for testing the colourscheme.

As it is, you've got a very neat depiction of the Fiat 2000 as is, and it would be a pleasure to build one once it was available (and I could pay for it).

Which makes me wonder: is there a Fiat 3000 in the works also?
The Fiat 3000 was in many respects a better vehicle than its' FT parent, but I do not recall a Fiat 3000 exiting as a paper model. Just a humble suggestion, Corey my friend.

Kind and Respectful Regards Corey my friend, Uyraell.

Thanks Uyraell,
I got hung up on my WZ34 and my 1zm armored cars so I did the Fiat 2000 as a break, mainly because of it's neat shape and clean lines. I was however looking at the 3000 and wondering if a paper one was out there already.

As to the sand color that will be my other depiction, at least one more, included in the kit.

I would like to do one other but have not decided on what exactly for color. Maybe something fictional or proposed...we will see.

There's a thread on the Landships forum - resin Fiat 2000 which has some ideas on colours, etc.

There was a 1/35 Fiat 3000 by Answer - nice little kit. From memory it gave you a choice of two colour schemes. The Fiat 3000 was in service for a long time - some even
were used to oppose the landings in Sicily in 1943 - they didn't last long against Shermans. Between the wars the Fiat 3000 was considered one of the best tanks around -
much faster the Renault FT.

OK folks, here is the sand base color and a sand camo color. Not too bad I guess, I am really having fun at this. Now, I just hope all the pieces-parts fit together!

Very neat indeed Corey my friend.
You've caught the look of the Fiat 2000 very well in all guises.

The latest colourschemes work really well, I feel.

Kind and Respectful Regards Corey my friend, Uyraell.
