Sdkfz 251/D (PICS)

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, February 26, 2003 5:55 PM

Hi There,

I have gotten back into modelling after a haitus of 20 years. This is a happy snap of my first model and first Airbrush job. (always used brushes) I am not sure is the camo is authentic, I saw a few museum pics that had something similar to this.

It seems to me that German camo prior to the the factory painting was really up to the imagination of the maintenance people and whatever hit their fancy.

and here is the Flak37, I think the trailer wheels look a little big when compared to those of the Halftrack.

and one last one for the halftrack again...both are Tamiya 1/35.

Would anyone know of a really good WEB reference on weathering?

Hope you like them...

Thanks
Butch

Thanks, the Flak 37 is still being built, I have to reapply the green and brown camo. (lots of mistakes)

I thought the wheels of the 37 looked pretty big compared to the Halftrack. I have a PAK40 in the closet but I was thinking of getting the Stug4 from Tamiya. I think it would be a good kit to practice on becuse its cheap and have l lot of flat surfaces.

I really love the German 3 colour scheme and the option to paint it sooo many ways.

Cheers
Butch
