The progress at moment goes close to zero, the are other projects with higher prioity, I think I will continue in some weeks.

My trip to:

2 cm KwK 30/38

Started to build the 2 cm cannon for the Sd.Kfz 222, a lot of small parts glued togehter and finally here is the result, the cannon will be coloured in Field greay and the rifle in gun metal.

My trip to

My trip to

Sd.Kfz Frame work

Basic Coloring:

The inner lower part was assembeled and finished with flat white, the holder for the ammunition cans are bended from photo etched parts. The upper part is assembeled and ready for painting inside with flat white.

Chassis Panzergrau

Brushed today the chassis in Panzergrau, using since some months from time to time the Revell Aqua colors, close to my home I have a dealer where all of them are available. The mix is 50:50 with the Airbrush and the result is always good, fine surface and fast drying out and the price is good.

Chassis Sd.Kfz 222

Finished basic built from chassis, it took some work to put everything together, the Chassis was called „Einheitsfahrgestell I“ and a Horch Engine from Type 801 was mounted. The type A  had 75 PS and was used from 1936-1939,  the B variant 90 PS and used from 1940-1943.

The kit engine is nice detailed, from the engine 75% will be covered what a pity!

Chassis was brushed with Grey Primer from MIG.
Next Steps are Basic color like hull red or dark grey for pre shading will be brushed.

New Project coming soon
