I had a bit of a modeling blues going on and this was the project that got me out of that.
It`s the DML SdKfz 250/10 wih 37 mm PAk that was captured by the 1st Polish army and wich was used against the germans in 1945.
The DML kit built as a dream and I have built her OOTB trying to let the Paintjob do it`s work to let it be convincing. First applied mud made from wallspackle and static grass then sprayed the whole thing in Panzergrey. then a layer of desert yellow, letting the grey shine through at the edges. Added some scratches and paintchips and finished the rest of with a couple of filters from different tones of brown.
It`s not completely finished though because the Polish eagle decal is not arrived yet and with that the model is really finished... Maybe a couple of small touchups here and there but nothing really serious
Well enough talk for now here are some pics some might be a bit blurry but sorry for that
More can be found under this link
I like to hear what you guys and gals think of it

Rob I like it I really do. You certainly can do a nice weathered and used paint job on a vehicle.

Hey Rob, I too am hoping to do this kit and am bidding on it on E-bay as we speak.
I like what you have done here, the paint chips are fairly small and as you know, this is what I think is accurate.
Nice Medium weattering job, the whole kit looks good overall.
The only thing I will take exception to is the footprints, they seem too pronounced and muddy and the amount of mud on the vehicle is not comparable to what seems to have been "tracked in".
Nice work Rob,
Andrew

Lovely finish faust. Just the way I like them. I agree with Oberst about the footprints ..... they even look a bit too big. Maybe they could be weathered down a bit! A small nit-pick on an otherwise great model. The weathering is perfect ...... worn but still all the detail can be seen clearly! Good one!

Lord Faust,
This is truely amazing model, this shows that without using PE parts, an OOB model can be made to shine with superb painting and weathering.
This 250 is very well weathered and reflected the heavy usage in the urban warfare, great work!
Decal on the way...

Thanks for the comments on my vehicle I really appreciate it.
The pics suddenly don`t seem to work and the link to it is also dead probably they have problems on the place where I host my pics I hope they will have that fixed soon sorry for that
Plasticbattle and Oberst I`m going to tone down the mud on the inside of the vehicle but the amount of mud on the inside will stay the same also the inside will be weathered with pastels most likely,
Further I will add some maps and a binocular inside it
Further everybody thanks again for all the good comments
