SdKfz 251 Hanomag

at the minute i dare not start any big projects. so ive been going thro the stash looking for some easy and fairly quick little builds

this is a Revell boxing of an old Matchbox kit, one i never did back in the day when Matchbox was around






as usual for a atchbox moulding it comes with a little dio



im this far with it



at the mo im thinking of an early WW2 one in DunkelGrau since the dio is a wall/street....not very north african like the box art, and im not sure i have the right colours to do yellow/green/brown camo of a late war one

Nice even comes with it's own wall.

great fun they are, some are better than others, im surprised other manufacturers havnt thought of doing it

NOW you tell us! We could've been demanding diorama parts for 1/25 models decades ago!!! If only we had known!

Didn't have a clue. That's kinda cool.

Nice.
Be cool if those models were in 1:24 scale. The possibilities !!!!!

now i agree there............people say 'but there wouldnt be a market for it'..........huh?......airfix make aircraft in 1/24 and they are huge!, loads of companies make cars in 1/24....why not armour?

Cool project! It will be cool have it in 1/24 scale. They made also some tanks in 1/24.

work done on the base......might still do a little more to the road yet

ready for paint just not sure if its going panzergrau or yellow/green/red-brown camo yet

my first go at a tri color camo..............hope its easier on a bigger scale!! lol.....kind of wish i had done by hairy brush instead of air brush cos i dont think it works ,but its done now

cleared, decaled, a dark wash, matt coated a few times, tracks on........next up is a covering of dust then maybe some light mud

Yeah, it needs dirtying up! Otherwise it's fresh off das assemblylinen!

finished....more pics in the completed thread
