The AS-42 Sahariana history is here

This article was first published on October 27, 2011

Here is the assembly of the Crielmodel 1/35 Sahariana . This kit is relatively old, it is no longer in the catalog, and is representative of the old  productions of this craftsman. That is a very oily resin of poor quality, some small parts unusable. I must admit that today, this is absolutely not the case (see lancia 1zm and Daimler). But it was at that time the only one to offer a Sahariana on this scale, so …. and with a little work, it was possible to obtain an honorable model. With the photos one can see what was changed for the assembly, the jerrycans are Italeri ones, the gun came from jordi rubio.  Painting is made with Tamiya acrylic with oil filter and pigments finish.
The figure comes from the modelvictoria line, superb range of Italian models. It is typically painted with acrylics for the uniform and oils for the face and hands.
