I thought I would post this here before actually submitting. I remember a post discussion as to the number of entries per member stating there was no limit? If I am wrong I'll remove this, but anyway. Just finished up the 251/9 with US markings. From what Ive found out this particular vehicle,shown in Sturm & Drang #3 ,was captured by the 101st Airborne during the Battle of the Bulge, which was given the stars and used for some time. Though I would imagine they mainly used it as an armored transport ,probably already out of or running out of ammo for the 7.5 gun.
Anyway, about the model. I used Dragons 3n1 kit OOB. Painted with acrylics and weathered with oils and MiG pigments.
My monitor is crapping out on me, please, if these photos look very dark please let me know. They look fine on my cameras LCD, but extremely dark on my PC monitor.

Another excellent model Tim, congratulations. I particularly like the faded effect of the camo, and the interior wear and tear. But those two 75mm rounds are mighty shiny, should the business end of those not be painted?

Cheers
Henk
