Dear all, I am currently building a new model which is the Tamiya Sd.Kfz 222 armor car, and I am wondering do the joints of the main armor plate of the actual vehicle have welding lines on it? Since I want to build this model to the best realism as possible I search the internet for some war time photo and it doesn't seem to have welding lines on it (or the photos are not clear enough to see it), or is it because the plates are welded from inside hence unable to see it from outside? Any idea at all? would be really appreciated, Thank you!

Hello him_15,

A better option maybe walkaround photos like this SdKfz 222

Cheers,

Tat
