Hi all
Yet another German halftrack has rolled off my desk.
This is the Dragon Models Sdkfz. 251/6 with some extras from the spares box. The Birch logs are home made from twigs from the garden, which were painted in Humbrol colors.
Hope you like it.
Jacob

I'm just going to go throw all of my 251s in the bin when I get home.
BRILLIANT build.

When I see a great build and finish I get those two contradictory thoughts; 1-Get that kit immediately!!! 2-Why bother since I'll never even come close?
Then I get over it and get on with whatever I'm building or planning to build.

Thanks for all your nice comments. I'm glad you liked the birch logs, because I'm quite happy with the outcome myself.
