That came out great and impressive work on the figures! Nice to see a 222 in something other than German markings.

I would pay dearly to have the choices in 1/35. Swappable Asian heads? Wow! BTW,  I copied the decals from that Bronco 1/35 kit and modified them.

As for poster, I just searched on "chinese ads 1930s" and use the image filter, no need for using Chinese to search :).  If you find a good candidate, but wanted to make sure the texting us appropriate, just pm me. Smile

Oh that's awesome Waikong!!! Really nice work on the 222, I love the weathering, subtle but there. And neat work on the figures and base!

I picked up the 1/35th Dragon kit of the early 222 in ROC colours a few years ago. Thankfully there are a few figures out therein 1/35th. And Hornet makes several sets of 'Asian' heads that can be swapped to Wehrmacht and other figures. 

And may I ask where you found the 'Little Golden Mouse' cigerette ad and signs? I looked around the internet a while back for some Chinese posters for a diorama that currently sitting in the box but I want to get back to some day soon. I didn't have a whole lot of luck. And not being able to read Mandarin didn't help me...

Here's something a little different, a sdkfz 222 in Chinese service - 1937, Nanjing area.

Figures are kit bashed from hasegawa, Tamiya, and ICM - then converted into an elite armor commander and a 'Big Sword' local militia.  Various Chinese posters and advertising for effect in a small vingette.

A bit more details and pictures on this page https://waihobbies.wkhc.net/index.php/14-models/ground/171-sdkfz222-nanjing
