Just finished some 20mm armour for the campaign in France 1940.

This is the Pz IV from PSC. Little bit of fettling, drilled out gun,
fitted alternative MG and ariel mount.Added headlight and air filter cover. Bits and bobs of stowage. Quite an old PSC kit but scrubs up rather well I think.

Next up the PSC 38t. Lovely little kit.Pretty much out of the box took about 15 mins to build.
Drilled out guns added ariel mount and a bit of battle damage.

Then there is the Dragon 232. Lovely kit ( should be given what it costs!)
Straight out of the box really.

A nice build, trickiest bit being the frame ariel. Oh forgot to say replaced the width indicators with steel ones, the plastic versions being a little on the thick side.
Suprisingly few German 8 wheeler kits around really. Have the three Hasegawa 234's on the painting bench at the moment. Anyone tried the Roden versions?

LesCM19,
Well the exact mark is a little 'wooly' should be a D for France ( its short barreled and in grey which will do for me lol) but the kit makes several variants possible with the usual compromises as to detail.
AONeill always more kits to make then time isnt there? Will have the Hasegawa ones up when I get the time be useful to see the Roden ones at the same time. So stop all this messin about with working for a living etc lol
Who asked this joker havent even thought of French stuff yet gone back to 20mm armour to use as props for the upcoming figure range.
( my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)
