i recently got dragon's 1/35 SdKfz.250/8 NEU 7.5cm KwK.37 (L/24) Stummel (quite a mouthful there) and i'm planning on having it knocked out in an ardennes diorama, along with tamiya's m4a3 sherman. so the question i have is, were these things even used in the ardennes? and if so what kind of camouflage would they have? pardon my lack of historical knowledge
thanks,

Hello Zheng Wei,
I haven't been able to find any pictures of the Stummel in the Ardennes but that doesn't mean there weren't any there during the battle. There were certainly 250 "Neu" vehicles there...so why not a 250/8. Use some artistic license and go for it. Good luck!
