Hi,
I would like to present my Sd.Kfz 251/9 "Stummel" to you.

Kit:
Dragon kit 6233 - Sd.Kfz. 251 Half track (3 in 1 kit) 1:35.
more information:here

This kit is really nice and you have the option to build 3 different Sd.Kfz. 251.
A great help for me was Robert Oehler`s book: Modelling the SdKfz 251 Half-Track (Osprey Modelling Manuals). The model is a vehicle of the 20. Panzerdivision in March of 1944 in Russia.

-Weathering: colored Tamiya putty and old brush hairs.
-Drybrushing: Tamiya XF-9 red hulll
-Washing: thinned oil-colors (blck and brown)

And here is the final product:

















All in all it is a great kit and I really hope you like it !!!

WOW!!! That is stunning. When I first scrolled down, I thought it was one of those color profile paintings. It's a work of art.

Yes, very well done Martin, looks like it has just returned from a serious recce mission and the crew is going to get the order to spruce her up a bit before the C.O. does the company inspection!

Martinb, always nice to see a well-finished 251! The weathering is extremely well done, although the armoured shield for the gun is a bit crooked? Good luck in the contest!
