Tamiya’s Sd.Kfz.232 in original “desert brown”. The 232’s shipped to North Africa were in their brown paint before being repainted in their desert yellow but quite a few were never repainted in the field as depicted here. Being a Tamiya kit there were no surprises and was a fun build. I added desert dust pigment to complete the weathering along with some paint chipping in areas. The large antenna array is done in its original German grey.

E-100 by Trumpeter in 1/35 depicted post 1945 with newly installed black lacquer barrel and recently installed aerial protection plate for crew. Over 15 modifications/changes and additions were made to this build including hull texturing, drilling out of machine gun barrel, empty extinguisher bracket, airbrushed stencils, sighting optics and front spare track holder with tracks.
