1/35 SIDAM (4x25mm)


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

here is my last 1/35 tank. It was called S.I.D.A.M. (Sistema Integrato di Difesa Antiaerea Mobile - Mobile Integrated Anti Aircraft System), made by OTO-Melara and used from the 80s to nowadays. I don't know if it is still used today. It wasn't a lucky project due to the high cost, due to the weight and the opportunity to engagé enemies only with a nice sunny day... Anyway I found it very actractive with that strange turret and those 4 AA guns.

The starting kit was the 1/35 Academy M-113A2. Here enclosed you can find a picture of the real thing and the starting point, the turret. The model kit is finished.

Painting job using Humbrol enamels. My usual technique is: base green + brown, base green, base green + tan. This gives you a first 3D looking. The second 3D part will be done with washings and drybrushings.

This is the base choosen for this diorama. It is a Verlinden resin base Painted grey (Tamiya primer) and different shades of brown, light grey, tan.

The base received then a light coat of tan-light grey for simulating the a stone pavement. I would simulating a city square. Washings and drybrushings jobs made a nice final effect.
