Hi everyone.

This is my first try at making a desert vehicle and I don't think it turned out too bad. The base kit was Tamiyas Sd.kfz 250/3,(Made in 1979, A full 17 years older than I am) but I used an article in an old finescale and converted it to an Sd.kfz 253 al beob used in north africa. Here it is.

WIP









Here is the finished model:



Due to a problem where my dad couldn't drive me back to the show to pick up my model, I can't get anymore pictures for now. I promiose to post some more of the figure and vehicle later.

Thanks!

2009 - 1979 = 30
30 - 17 = 13

And better scratchbuilding than I could manage. Looks great Q

Yes, you´re right. I agree with this and I´m a bit over 30.
Most of the "young ones" doesn´t have the interest, to build something in plastic or paper or so.
Good work, Q!
