Howdy Y'all
Good work folks. I really loved this campaign.
@Sal-Nice! How hard are those Dragon 234 kits? I've got one in the staff, at the bottom, but never really seriously considered building it yet. I'm probably saving it for retirement.
@Jose-Good to see you back my friend. I don't want to be the only 1/72 Italeri M-8 in the campaign. Make sure the tires all touch the ground-that's where I messed up.
Take care,
Don "Lakota"

Thanks John -- good to see you're nicely forging ahead. You seem to be in good shape to finish on time.
Early this morning I sprayed on a black coat and will give it a day to dry. Go to work and earn some hobby money -- he he. Hope to start the panzer grey tomorrow and progress to finish as well. Crunch time is looming ahead

I'm in with Italeri's Staghound, looks a nice simple build, so even I shouldn't worry about time

I have one question though, what colour would a Staghound in Normandy have been, American OD or British army green? And if green then which Revell shade comes closest?

@Sal: nice camo, I have been hand brushing my AC since the airbrush decided not to work and I was too lazy to see what was wrong.
@Tat: looks like we are building the same kit only your build looks so much better than mine. Did you find the plastic a little too soft?
@John: like the camo on that Bushmaster.

Thanks Bob. Indeed the plastic was soft, and so are some of the surface details. Add to that were the alignment issues I had. It could have been better but am not really complaining as the kit's been of the older generation I'd say. I've since put on the base panzer grey color using a rattle can -- looking forward to the weekend to get some work on it.
Nice finish Roman -- I like the way the tones come into play.

Hi Luca, Hi guys,
I joined the armored car campaign !
I do partecipate with my 1/35 sd.kfz.223 Leichter pz.spahwagen (Fu), Tamiya kit, just yesterday received.
Yes, it is a ''classic'' thing, nothing unusual. But actually I like this one.
I'll start working during weekend and hoping upload pictures soon !

Margin: I like your interior, rust, dust and all things dirty.
A little progress if I can call it so:


When I painted the tires with my Vallejo black the liquid was really thin and the finish came out gloss, the paint was shaken and a stick had been used to stir up the pigments.

Thanks Giovanni they are marking that came with the kit directions state Ulrich von Hutten Division, Germany 1945. It appears that this was a training division that saw a little action before the end of the war

Lovely job Stephen!
Those twins are coming along nicely Martin. Why did you go for different shades?
A nice little 223 Giovanni....I wish I had time to spend 2 hours a night! But that's life.
Sal, that's looking great. Will be nice when weathered and less shiney. The figure really suits

Hi Stephen, your sd.kfz.222 is really good. I like it. For my curiosity, do you have some reference for the plate fitted on front ? Normally on front the put the rectangular small one.
Thanks !
Giovanni
