Here are a couple of shots of part of my collection - haltracks only note, there is lot more tanks & wheely things not in these shots. Most of these are Tamiya, but there are also kits by Italeari, Esci, AFV Club & Dragon. See if you can spot which is which! I had to wait until everyone (including the cat) was out of the house before doing this to avoid accusations of being deeply sad! Sorry, Axis only, there aren't any olive drab ones, that will remedied in time.

You seem to be bent on having your Kampfgruppe! :-) A formidable force in the makings.

Intervals man, intervals! One good barrage will make mincemeat of your kampfgruppe!
Seriously, very nice collection of halftracks you have there.

Now you need a sandbox and then make those neat battle noises.

Very impressive, but you missed the seam on the barrel of the FeldHaubitze...

Hmm, is that an MQ carpet on the floor?
That's a serious liking for half tracks!

... the collection looks more impressive when you spread them on the floor (or carpet ) rather than in a display cabinet... great stuff steve.
errr... is that all ...? or do you still have 50+ halftrack kits still unbuilt stashed somewhere....

Awesome.
That is one good looking collection of halftracks.

Thanks for the comments guys!
There are another two in the pipeline, the Dragon Sdkfz 251/7 engineers vehicle, & their Flammpanzer, which I intend to kit-bash to an Ausf D.
Rod, you're correct, the Sdkfz7/2 is Tamiya. There are also three more Hanomags, & three more Sdkfz 7s (one has the 2Cm Flakvierling on it) in the loft, but being made many years ago they are just too poor to display! (Some of these don't bear really close scrutiny!)
BTW, our lounge is 21' X 15', & this took up a goodly part of it. This is why I don't do dioramas, it's not lack of interest, it's lack of space!!!
Henk, I know you're winding me up, there's no mould line on an ali barrel! :-) :-) :-)

Excellent collection. By the shot....they all look well built.
Love the camo schemes. Makes me wonder what my 250 type collection will resemble. Nice work.

Nice Job! That really gives me motivation to start gathering a 251 collection with all the variants. I feel your pain for needing space! I can't do many dio's for the same reason.
