discussion Rick’s completed 1/35 Tamiya Sd.Kfz. 7/1 8 ton Halftrack w/20mm Flakvierling

Just off the bench. Nice kit and a new experience and challenge for me. Built out of the box using Tamiya paint and Mig weathering products.
There is so much more I could do with this; figures, equipment etc but I achieved what I wanted going this far, i.e a winter wash; kind of a test run for the technique.
One takeaway will be to fill every ejector pin hole in future builds, regardless of scale or subject.

That looks SUPERB Rick.
This kit was one of the very first kits that I made on my return to the hobby, about 11 years ago.
It's a great kit even though it's old imho.
Cracking job with the winter whitewash for sure,top stuff ,
