Hey fellas,

Workin on an Sd.kfz. 251 and wanted to know who makes the little branches with leaves and stuff that you can camoflage your vehicle with. Im not talkin woodland scenics stuff. If you guys could post a link thatd be nice. thanks in advance.

Go to the Eduard website.. and do a search for 1/35 leaves.. you will get all kinds of listing for photo-etch leaves and leves on branchs or vines.... rather expesive way to do it if you ask me.. might be some other sets out there.. and Squadron.com is prob a better bet for prices than ordering directly for Eduard.... so you might want to check them out also..

Eduard website is here

ScaleLInk also has some,
here's link to the etched brass foliage.

hey tsunami...i really dont like the photoetch stuff and prefer to do natural stuff. Go out into your yard or an open space and pull up some shrubs. If you find a shrub with a good root structure...cut it off and use them for branch armatures. Then you take some thick super glue and put it on the ends of the roots and u sprinkle some oregano or margerum (spices, herbs from kitchen...anything that looks good) and sprinkle it over the glue. You take an airbrush and spray the leaves green...u then get a thick wash of brown and paint the roots to get the green overspray out. There u have it...arrange it on your vehicle and viola! heres a pic of this technique on my schwimmwagen.




Hope this helps....its harder, but in my eyes more realistic and fun. The photoetch doesnt look random enough for branches.

Thank you body movin, that is what i was looking for. Once im finished with my halftrack ill go into the backyard and start the search!

I can't find a site anywhere with a picture, but Huson & Allen have some really good Pine Boughs. You can also go to anyplace that sells dried flowers. I used Caspia on this Panther.
