Here you are my new project: a Dragon kit that I’m pretty sure it was released around 2003-2004. It´s been lying in my stash for all these years and now it´s the right moment to build it. I’ve chosen an unidentified unit (Hungary 1945-white camo) among the options given bay the maker.
It´s going to be a simple vignette with the vehicle, a couple figures and the corner of a small farm.
A couple of weeks ago I started with the farm building and this is what I got so far:
Nice start Carlos, that building looks great!
Well, last week I got this great looking 2023 kit from Dragon and said to myself: I’m already building a 251, why not double it up?
So the Ausf D with the 7,5 gun is on its way already primed. I´m also working on the scenery

That’s a nice start.
251/9 is masked and waiting for the Olivegrün color and I’m currently working on the interior of the 251/17
That is looking good.
Working on the river terrain for the 251/9. I’ve used styrofoam and real earth and stones over a Das clay layer; Ak´s Muddy ground is also there.
Looking good, nice job
Made some progress today. The 251/9 camo was painted using Ammo Washable white camo mixed with a drop of Tamiya´s deck tan.
I´ve been using Ammo paintings for the last two years but never got good results…what a disappointment. I’ve tried with the brand´s own thinner, with Ak thinner and with Mr. Color leveling thinner. So I decided to come back to the old reliable Tamiya paints that I’ve been using since the 80´s.
Anyway, oil brushers and weathering products from Ammo work nicely for me. I’ve used Neutral wash over the camo painting.
Crew fighting cabin is going to be covered with a couple of blankets…
I´ve got three days off from work so let´s see if I can do some progress. Made some advances in both yesterday…
