                        Welcome to the forum Lubie.
                        armor a great way to start because if somthing doesn't come out the way you would like, just cover it up with mud, some equipment or a nice trap made out of tissue paper.

                        I started with a Hanomag Sdkfz251/1Tamiya kit ...as well as multi tasking myself witha M3Lee kit.
                        The half track is around 75% done just needing a few fine touches with an Airbrush but the M3 is gonna suck up a lot of time.
                        I have taken a liking to the Armor kits but I also have a Me109 Tamiya kit in the box still that I am making for the wife :)
