Stunning diorama from Tetsuya Okamura and his incredible diorama “Eagle owl of blue eyes” Sd.kfz251/20 "UHU" March 1945 Germany. Sd.Kfz. 251/20 - Schützenpanzerwagen (Infrarotscheinwerfer) Introduced in late 1944, it mounted a 60 cm infrared searchlight with a range of 1.5 km for illuminating targets at night. Known as "Uhu" (Eagle Owl), they guided IR sight-equipped Panther tanks to targets that were out of range of their own smaller infrared searchlights.

Superb work indeed! The groundwork is exceptional and painting as well. The trees seemed too thick and didn’t quite taper off as it should.
