RX7850 - thanks a lot! Looks like there are far more box arts showing that kind of thing than there are actual photos. But they are there - look at the top right:

Bish - thanks a lot! I'm glad I was able to show it on the model - it's no fun having to explain what the model was actually SUPPOSED to represent.

Thanks again for your comments and have a nice day

Pawel, i was thinking it looked like mud rather than paint, and we do know the Germans did that, especially pre 1943.

Hey Pawel,

Really like your 251/7 especially the added details and paint scheme. I would'nt worry if it's historically correct but you already know that.

Esci's box art of a 251/1. Looks pretty similiar

Keep them coming....

Hello!

Thanks a lot for your comments and for your kind words - they mean a lot to me!

I didn't write what I wanted to achieve, but I see it comes over, or pretty close.

A hand painted camo - yes. But painted with a local mud and a bunch of rags. I guess that's why the photos are so hard to come by - if you can't find paint or a brush, a camera might be as hard to come by. And also such a "hillbilly camo" doesn't fit well with an image of a superhuman fighter, now does it? But the Italeri model shows something like this in the colour options, and it did look interesting to me, so I went for it.

As for fun - it definitely was a fun build, thank you very much!

Thanks again, and have a nice day

Paweł

Looks great to me, Pawel! I love a little creativity.

I don't know enough to comment on whether or not this is an historical camo scheme, but I certainly think it is possible.  "Here's your brush, there's the paint.  Get to it."

I think you did a really good job on this.  The scratch built mines are very well done.  Personally, I like the camo, but I think it is a lot more important that you do. 

Sounds like you had fun building this, and that, after all, is the point.

Thanks for posting, and I hope you have a nice day.

Yeah. I've never seen a scheme like that but you've done a beautiful job on it. Great job there on the bridge and the mines too. 

I like that a lot. Can't say if a vehicle ever carried that pattern, but then i also can say one didn't. But its perfectly done for a brush painted camo scheme. Its the sort of paint job many avoid because they think it looks silly, but its actually very realistic.

Nice build and well done for trying somthing different.

Hello everybody!

I liked the first half track so well, that I thought I'll do other variants, too, to show the development of the family. So here's another. The chassis is from Revell, a very nice kit, and the pioneer version parts are from ESCI/Italeri /7 kit, after some detailing. Inside I have put some generic crates and some "Tellerminen" that I have scratchbuilt.

I got some very critical comments on the camouflage, so if you think it's shidda, I'd very much like to know it. I have to tell you that I like that camo very much, but I'd just love to know your opinnion, too.

Thanks a lot for looking and have a nice day

Paweł

Gamera - thanks a lot! Yeah, it's a tiny model but was very nice to work with, the transplant wasn't very hard, although if I were to do it again, I'd take the Revell kit as a donor, much nicer parts. Somehow I like 1:72 very much. Thanks again for your comment and have a nice day

Paweł

Oh that's some nice work Pawel! And you replaced the road wheels and treads too? Wow, oh wow, I imagine in 1/72nd she'd be about 8cm long or so. My hands and eyes can barely handle 1/35th not to mention something that small. 

Hello!

Thanks a lot!

You're right, we don't get enough of 1:72 builds, especially in the non-aircraft category!

Have a nice day

Paweł

Nice work  on the 251. Good to see 1/72 being represented as well

Hello Bish!

Thanks a lot for your kind words. I can recommend those F2F kits, especially when it comes to rare subjects - like this one Ausf. A.

And thanks for clarifying those width indicators - I knew what they were there for, they just reminded me of the of the antennae on a bug.

Have a nice day

Paweł

I have seen these for sale on hannants, they have a nice range. You have done a good job on this.

Those 'antennas' on the front are width indicators.
