Well a bit of progress. Not much worth a photo, so you will have to make do with my rambelings.
Schimmwagen: Just a word to the interested. This little car is a gem. The detail is wonderful; engine petrol tanks, tools inside the cabin area, mesh over the intakes and outlets, a real cracker, so if any one is after a good german stand alone, you could do worse than choose this kit!
Right, 99% of the fiddly bits are built and primed. I have just sprayed the body work and will put the top and bottom together later, before I attempt the camo (
) Why did the Germans always have the worst to paint camo patterns.? The instuctions for the period and place call for dark yellow base, with darkgreen shadows. I need to ask. was the german army as anal as the RAF (for example) when it came to the positioning of camo colours on armour/softskins? Did they have set forms and masks or was it "Fritz heres a paint brush, now get on with it!"
More help needed! Railway scales v model scales. 1/35 scale what would that be in railway scale? only thing I know is HO/OO is aprox 1/76. If I need things to fit in 1/35 what should I look for.
