Hi everyone,
Starting to work on my next Afrika Korps diorama which is based on these kits -
I am reusing the base from my previous project as below with a very rough idea of the layout of the main kits shown. Bit of greenery, too, this time.
There will be 9 or 10 figures in the scene plus various accessories. These photos are a few of those I am using for inspiration…
BTW I just started a WIP for the Sd.Kfz 254 build.
Sd.Kfz. 254 interior build - Armor/AFV / WWII Axis - KitMaker Network
Any help appreciated.
Here are the leFH18 and SdKfz11 with the dunkelgrau and some basic modulation done prior to the DAK colour which will be worn away a fair bit. Not much insightful to say as both are fairly standard builds and just augmented with photoetch.
The engine bay is open on both sides so I added an engine from SKP which you can see here.
SKP Model SKP 056 Maybach HL42 Engine set for AFV Club Sd.Kfz.11
The SdKfz11 will have a canopy, well half a canopy, which was a saga in itself. The one from PanzerArt does not fit this version of the SdKfz11 from AFV and only probably fits their Nebelkraftwagen version. There is no information related to which version it is for that I could find. It is too wide for the standard version.
So, I cut it in half along its length and crossways, cut out the middle section to fit and rebuilt it as a shorter version. The door cab coverage also needed to be modified.
Anyway, primed…
The SdKfz254 full build is going along steadily…
