An OK build that I enjoyed enough that I am looking at other Halftracks and Artillery more and more....
All paints Vallejo Model Air.
Vallejo pigments and washes.
It is only parked on this base so I can move it easy. I might make a propper Dio one day.

Oh about that rather large 128mm flak. I sort of found a bit more handy PaK that I could hang off the back.

The full build of the halftrack can be had here:-

Comments welcome.

Lovely stuff Ian. A big half track with an even bigger gun! What’s not to like……

Cheers chaps.
I will do some more photos of the PaK later.
The base is just a generic one I use for long models .

If I do a diorama with the halftrack it will probably get a bit more weathering.

Thanks Chaps.
I might have to have a go at this figure painting thing. a big open bus like this needs some people...

I was about to suggest that very thing. That's a really fine piece Ian, you should be proud.
