Hi Elad,
It is AFV's, thanks for the compliment.

Robert, you earned the compliments rightously.
I've been lately looking into german armor which I never had intrest in and while I still prefer modern subjects your 251 made me want to actualy get one (I've been reading Terry's comparisons of DML Vs. AFV on PMMS for two weeks now).
I'm gonna try the technique you described on my Trumpeter SA-2 rig.

keep us posted on your progression, it seems you earned yourself a cult following :-)

I was able to get a little work done today, thanks to getting the girls to take a nap early. Sprayed the flat coat on after painting the pak 40 and a few washes. I am waiting on Hussars new 251 wheels before I start painting the running gear. Then all that is left is the personal items and the canvas cover and she should be done.



Hopefully the mail gods will be good to me tomorrow.
Regards,
Robert

Indeed the Mail gods are good to me the wheels came today, and boy are they nice. No warpage no air bubble no blemishes.






Now onto the fun part of building the running gear

regards,
Robert

You are a very talented modeller. (I looked at some of your other work in your gallery as well)
Nice paint job, but I guess it's sort of one of your own design... "not that there is anything wrong with that."

Thank you Jet, and yes the model is painted from my imagination and not an actual vehicle,
but the colors and the size of the 13 are accurate for the time frame and unit.
regards,
Robert
