I like it. I love the 251, my favorite AFV, You have done a nice job on this one. Nice woprk on the weathering to. Some more pics would be great.

But if anyone asks, this was set in 1942. the 24th Pz Div didn't exist during the initial invasion of Russia.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Very nice job for your first dio.

May I suggest that you post a few more views of your builds so they can be  appreciated in full.

Look forward to a lot more.

Regards

Gerry

Looks good. Really like the ground work. A few more pictures would be nice. Which kit and figures did you use?

One thing to note however: Hanomag was the name of one of seven makers of the SdKfz 251 half track.  Tamiya incorrectly labels the vehicle as  a "Hanomag".  It's not really called that nor did German troops call it that during its production.  It'd be the equivalent of saying "Here's a Lima tank" when referring to an M4A1 Sherman built by the Lima OH tank factory.

Nice!  But ditch the beach obstacle.  Those were for the Atlantikwall and wouldn't have been placed in a field being assualted by grenadiers.

I am pretty sure that the Russians used that style of obstacle as well

for starters it tells a story. i saw that right away but i am a technical illustrator so i tend to think graphically. not enough pictures to really check the modeling but i don't see anything obvious
