Manuel Castro
East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania
Manuel’s 1/35 scale diorama "Amerikanische Zigaretten," takes place on Dec. 16, 1944, when Operation Wacht Und Rhein, the German name for the Ardennes Offensive, was underway. In it, German troops pause to smoke American cigarettes they found inside an M8 Greyhound armored car as a Panzer IV Ausf J and soldiers move past with a German officer directing the advance. The M8 is from Tamiya and the Panzer IV and figures are from Dragon.
