Machine Gun version

Both models are from the FT17 MG box by Hät, build straight from the box, without any additional detailing, the only detail added are chains from Unicorn Models on both tanks. These chains give a more operational look to the models and hide more or less the lack of detailing of that area.
Painting was entirely done with Tamiya paint sprays, detail painting with Vallejo acrylic paints and weathering with oils and weathering powders from Vallejo and MiG.
Decals for both models came from Black Lion Decals set 72031.

First 3 pictures are an FT17 MG as used by the Spanish army in Morocco circa 1925. As an end result the grey on the Spanish tank is much too dark and should have been almost light grey.

The next 3 are a Brazilian tank from the '20s.
