[Guest]

Hi all,
So while waiting for the gb's to start in earnest, I thought I'd try this one out, wether it gets finished is another thing.
Cheers

Hi Mike , not sure at moment, sixth army is a contender, prob not Rommels 250/3 but may be DAK also, the kit didn't have figures, and was off you know where, going to try a bit of wiring on the radio sets, cheers

If you want to be original, then paint it as anything except Greif

I’ve always liked Tamiya’s Sd.Kfz. 250 kits — sure, they’re probably not up to the standards of their Dragon counterparts, but how many other 1970s kits do you know that have link-and-length tracks?

Hi Jakko, As the box had no figs and plus I find it difficult enough to paint figures there was a benefit in not erring towards ''Grief'', no way I could depict Rommel., as for the tracks I was surprised, I was expecting rubber bands, so a new one for me.

I didn’t even know Tamiya did this kit! Quite fancy one myself now I know:thinking:.....especially as it doesn’t have the vinyl tracks!!
Ready when you are then:thumb2:

Bottom one looks like a Torn E.b.. poor representation.

Thanks Mike, I thought these images, for discussion purposes only, seemed a reasonable representation of the kit effort, like you said, bit iffy, what do you reckon? Your eye for detail is better than mine.:thumb2: here's the kit one again also.(bottom one)[ATTACH]321717[/ATTACH][ATTACH]321716[/ATTACH]

And do you reckon this could be the other two? Cheers

It looks to me like those are the radios that Tamiya tried to represent, yes.
