Hello friend:

This is my last work. Is the old Tamiya Sdkfz.251 Hanomag Type C, 1/35. The coat color was dark-yellow of Vallejo (hand-painted). For the weathering I applied 3 tones of rust of MIG pigments. Pigments black and brown and a little mix of white with english red for the extra-rust tone.

The base of the scene I used:
* Plaster
* Airbrushed with flat-earth of Tamiya
* washes with humbrol mixed with oils
* set with earth pigments

Figure is of Verlinden and I painted with Vallejo acrylics and washes with oils.

Hey Rodolfo,
Good looking scene but I wanted to point out a number of things:

1) Your model is an Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf. B, not a Ausf. C - the "B" had side intake hatches for the engine, a two piece nose plate and a tubular front bumper. The "C" had armoured cowls over the engine vents, a single flat nose plate and no front bumper.

2) Tamiya make a "C" and a variety of "D" 's but never made a "B" - I believe your model may be either an Acadamy or Nitto kit.

3) The "C" was introduced in 1940 and the "D" in late 1943 - While not impossible, it's unlikely that a "B" would have survived let alone still been running or in use in France, June 1944.

Cheers
