Damn, I thought it was going to be a bra, looking good though all the same.

An SdKfz 251 B...one of my faves! Got lots of info on this one along with complete interior details. Built the Tamiya kit with severe modiffykations and took first place in the IPMS armour category with it. Call if you need me pal! You've got the groundwork done....so what's stopping you from going to town?

Ive got a piece of German armor (Tiger II) on the go at the moment, but I am having a little trouble with colour. Can anybody point me towards a good paint swatch reference for German armor, like the one on this site?

And the 251 is also one of my fav's, it has an almost infinite scope for different profile representations.
From my collection.

Looks very nice. I'm already busy not doing the Corvette, so I can' t even begin to imagin doing that...

The more I look at your stuff, the more I don't want to do armour. The running gear alone woud drive me insane. That being said, awsome work! I can just imagine the perseverence it took to get that far and I cringe at the thought of it.

OOOH OOOH

Are you going to do the howitzer version?

Have you ever see the really old but really fabulous Uwe Feist profiles and paintings? I think from the 60s or early 70s? They were really great pieces for that time-

There's a 251 profile by him, I think, but I couldn't find it.
