discussion SD Kfz 222 (HobbyBoss) 1:35

[Guest]

Thank you Graham, thinking of a simple dio ( still working on my 1:48 sheds for my BF 110 dio), Libya, just the 222 and a good old Kubel, I haven't made a Kubel in yonks. A basic setting 222 broke down (giving me the chance to open as many hatches as possible)and the Kubel trying to assist.

I would also like to do and add an abandoned Tily (after your build I was Inspired).

Many thanks Trey.

The Tilly in 1:35 is a good kit to do as abandoned as, unlike the 1:48, it has an engine. Have a look at 'Military in Scale' magazine, the cover is a superb abandoned in a back yard Tilly with a great article on it to. Superb model.

Cheers Graham, I like the idea even more if its got an engine to show, it would make a nice in the background piece.

Sorry, forgot to post the link to the magazine site, at least you can see the cover

Hi Ray

Nice looking armoured car model you've got there. I'm looking forward to another quality build.

BTW, if I come across any more info/ref for you I will of course post the findings.

All the best mate

A little update got my paint mixer bud to mix me some interior ivory white, and its a goodish close match to Elfenbein( and its a lot better than straight white), a quick dry fit to see how it looks and so far this kit is a sweet fit.

 

[Guest]

Ok, had time to mucky the lower interior up for the old tub, and a few exhaust stains in the engine bay.Now on to the upper part and the gun. Thanks for looking everyone.

[Guest]

Many thanks Ian, the outside will look alot worse, the old tub will be on her last legs.

 

[Guest]

Well I thought now time was back on my side I would carry on with this old tub, and also give me the chance to try out my new camera I got from my daughters for Xmas, time to prep the body for sand damage ,chipping etc, so before I started thought it might be a good idea to try and show some sand wear on the desert yellow, by showing some german grey showing up, I hope this will be a nice base for my weather damage, so here is how she looks before I attack her with chips and wear.

Thanks for looking.

Good to see this one again. I've just gone through the thread again and very good it is too. That body looks like it's on the original production line,very nice. Looking forward to seeing how you "mess it up". Hopefully we'll see before you head off to the land of the rising sun.

Cheers

Steve
