My Entry

Post by laurence strong »

Here are the first - or this could be it!! :D Time will tell ;)

Image

2 vehicles for my growing Pz A. A. and the Div CO's track...

The 2 vehicles for the Pz A. A. are from PSC, I await the release of the 250 "Neu" sometime this year to finish the Bn.

First up is the 250 for one of the 2 Inf Komp. The standing figure is the last of my Prieser figures - gonna have to source another box of those...very nice figures - the others are from PSC IIRC

The supply truck for the Bn, with lots of spare tires for the big 234's......

Div Commander 251
Loosely based on these photo's

The 251 is an older built Esci/Ertl repaint and the figures are commercially available. IIRC the Div CO himself is from the OOP Hasegawa 234/1 kit

The ladder on the side can be seen in many period photo's of command tracks. A quick guess would say it is an easier way to enter the track than trying to squeeze past the radio operators and their radio's. (I made the radios from styrene and painted them grey with some white dots. Did not pick up in the pictures..)

Thanks for looking

Cracking job there, well done.... thmbs2)
Greatness is not in where we stand,
but in what direction we are moving,
we must sail sometimes in the wind,
and sometimes against it,
but sail we must, and not drift nor lie at anchor.

Great work Larry. If you're going to do any SdKfz 250/10 for your unit you might be interested to know that while it was always known as the Platoon Commander's vehicle in fact he didn't travel in it so it was numbered as the second vehicle in his platoon and not the first, so if you do the second company it would be 212 and not 211...I know nobody but me cares :lol:

Your attention to detail is nothing short of admirable! Also love the way they form a vignette.
