Various marks of 251s making up a late war PG Heavy (attached elements) Company. Many have been started years ago, but most are unfinished. Some pics of 3rd pltn. & some Stab elements under construction.
Platoon leader's track.

Jack, most camo schemes are patterned after examples in ref. materials, but much is guesswork due to the dearth of color pics. The units are representative of actual TO&Es and sometimes artistic license is used for field expedient conversions. The unit markings are usually accurate or absent if I'm unsure.
It should be interesting Scottie, as there are several different versions of 251 to be represented.
All part of the Master Plan Dzhon. PaulE
Paul. Looking good I’ll keep a close watch on this I think I can concentrate a little more since JR has eased his social distancing a little bit by taking his whirlybird hat off
Thank you gentlemen & Monica. Jack, 'Panzer Colors I, II, & III' are excellent soft cover sources for most things WWII German modeling. 'Panzer Tracts' are for the real nitty-gritty. Simon, trying something different. DG always looks too dark to me on these little guys & each layer of paint reduces the details. How's 331 look now?

Steve, hairy stick, thin coat. Simon, me and AB don't get along. It did come out brown didn't it. I was trying for more contrast, but the weather wash was too brown I guess. Well, back to the old way.
Thanks for commenting guys. PaulE
3rd platoon completed. It was not unusual for weapon shielding to be removed to improve situational awareness &/or mobility. Here the track commander has also switched to belt over clip for more sustained fire.
2nd platoon completed
1st platoon progressing.

Found some hooks, prolly not enough for all but most. Progress so far. 1st & 3rd dismounted, 2nd in reserve while Stab observes. PaulE
Better shot of replacements showing ship labels.
