About product

The Ariete in its late Iraqi configuration, 1:35 scale

A conversion package in cast resin focused on the form that the Italian tanks carried in the later phase of their presence in Iraq. It deals with the exterior details in which the machines in the desert differed from the factory version. The base model has to be obtained separately, as this item does not replace any kit.

The Antica Babilonia mission

The Italian contingent operated from 2003 in southern Iraq in the area of the town of Nasiriyah and formed one of the largest European contributions to the operation there. The Ariete tanks covered the mechanized units and during the deployment they gradually received additional protection and further modifications forced on them by the environment and by the nature of the fighting. Fine desert dust also troubled the filters and the moving parts of the running gear, so improvised covers appeared on the vehicles as well. Later machines are told from those of the first months mainly by the superstructures and by the distribution of stores on the hull.

Procedure and painting

Release the castings with a cut just above the casting gate and level the mating surfaces with a file. Cyanoacrylate makes the joint, and on large surfaces a two-part epoxy with a longer setting time helps. Rinse the parts before you start gluing, otherwise the paint will not hold on a greasy surface. A uniform primer coat evens out the difference between resin and plastic. The desert scheme is brought to life by dust pigments and a lighter dry brush on the edges, and perhaps by gently rubbing the finish through in the places where the crew routinely walks.

Who the set is for

  • anyone interested in contemporary Italian equipment
  • builders of overseas missions after 2000
  • advanced modelers who work with resin

FAQ

It relates to the form that the Italian tanks carried in the later part of the deployment in Iraq, when they already had additional modifications to the exterior.

It is not. The set contains resin parts for finishing off, and the Ariete kit itself is obtained separately.

Even the surface out with a primer, only then spray the desert shade and add dust with pigments.
