Here is the AFV Club SdKfz 251 C, with Gaso.line figure and Tamiya dog

All painting done with Vallejo. Weathering with various oil paints, art store pastel pigments, colored pencils, white glue, flocking, etc.

























Still have a lot to learn about figure painting, but the nice resin figures truly are easier to paint.

This is really well done, and the figure looks fine. I wish my figures in 1/35 looked as good. Only one thing looks odd; the 2 helmets on the seat nearest the rear door appear to need some sanding/trimming around the edges.

Ralph,

Your SPW looks great and you should be proud of your figures!

I didn't know AFV club made 1/48!

Thanks guys


Frederick,

Afv Club has a handful of 1/48 armor. This kit, an early and late tiger (both ex-Skybow kits) and a sturmtiger.

Word on the street is that they may be releasing an M4A3E8 sometime this year.

I sure hope that is true.
