      SD Kfz 222 (HobbyBoss) 1:35

      While Im waiting for my washes and the like of the BF 110 to dry, I realised I had nothing to do, so I thought I would start a build blog for the SD Kfz 222.Not built a 1:35 model in some time, and this kit has a full chassis,engine and interior, so I thought this should keep me busy.

      I have only one book for ref,which is Schiffer Military History - German Light Reconnaissance Vehicles, so between this and the net, it will be my only source of info.

      The 222 will be set in Libya 1941, as I wanted to get away from German grey for a bit, I will try and beat this tub up a bit and go for a well worn look.As always your company and input would be appreciated.

      Have a stack of HBs in the stash. One thing I have noticed with them the plastic can be soft at times,other than that they are really good.

      I will keep an eye out for that Tony, Thanks. Have you been happy with the fit or should I expect a few niggles on the way.

      This looks very interesting. Is there much opportunity to show engine detail when built Ray? I know the 1:48 T34 series they do with full interiors is almost heartbreaking to button them up as so little of it can be seen without a bit of ingenuity.

      In answer to your question Graham, some of the interior and engine can be made to be seen.

      Nice choice, I will be watching this one. Inside gubbins; sounds good..
      Look forwards to seing what you get out of the paint job. I do like old and battered! Hmm a bit like me!

      I have only done Hobby boss aircraft in the past but they have not been a problem. Never noticed anything with the plastic being soft.
      I have noticed it on SOME tamiya kits though.
