AFV Club Sd.kfz 251/22 Ausf. D

[19kilo]

This is the AFV Club 1/35 scale kit. This is my first AFV Club build, and most likely my last. The fit on many parts was sub-par. Getting the upper hull to fit the lower hull was quite a challenge.



I hand painted, as always, using Tamiya flat acrylics. Weathering was done by sponge dabbing stark gray followed by a bit of Tamiya rust effects and Tamiya dark brown panel accent. The camouflage effect I went for was a custom crew-level paint job done in the field. 

anyway, here she is…

Very nice work! I really like the work on the camo.

I wonder how much that vehicle moved when that gun was fired.

Very nicely done!

You did a pretty decent job on this, especially the meander camo.
Sad that you disliked the kit, because it is a common understanding that the AFV Club renditions of the 251 D are the best and most accurate in all terms.

Man......the work on the camo alone is baffling me and that's not to mention the assembly problems that you had with it and still managed to make it look perfect. Your weathering came out nicely using the Tamiya effects. Are these powders that you are applying with a sponge?

Love the camo work!!! I haven't built an AFV Club kit yet so I appreciate you sharing your experience.

I have built a couple of AFV club kits and haven't had any issues..yet.

This looks great, you certainly can't tell you had any issues with it. Your brush painting skills with Tamiya paints are simply amazing.
