This kit required very little modification. I am amazed at the amount of detail that Dragon is able to squeeze out of these small kits. Almost as much detail as their 1/35 scale releases.

Nice looking little kit. That camo scheme must have tested your patience. One question, who's driving?

Frank,
You've done a great job on this kit and the base really enhances the effect. Ambush camo has always been one of my favourites and you've done it justice. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Jan

Thanks for the positive comments; I was a bit hesitant on using the ambush scheme as there is very little to no evidence of it applied to halftracks or softskins. However on the other hand there is little to disprove its existence as well. In dealing with German camo schemes late in the war just about anything can be valid.

Yes they were, I know at least two. You can look for the last Wochenschau in Youtube and you´ll see a 251/9 in Hinterhalt, Ambush, Licht und Slacht or whatever was its name.
