Wacht am Rhein operation is closing in, time to get more APC for the troops.

This is the second Sdkfz 251 getting a proper paint scheme and weathering.

After the primer coat, I used Tamiya XF-60 Dark Yellow and XF-2 White (mix ratio between 50/50 and 25/75) for the base, XF-64 Red Brown, XF-9 Hull Red, XF-10 Flat Brown and some White for the Brown colour. XF-65 Field Grey, XF-67 NATO Green and some White too for the Green.

The weathering is made with enamels: White, Brun Amber, Sienna, Ocher and Buff.

I still have to add the mud on the wheels and tracks as well as working on the interior.

Superb work really nice piece!

Thank you.

Hier it is, done and ready to join the KampfGruppe:

Magnificent
What did you use for the tarp over the crew compartment?

Hi Herman,

I used handkerchief or soft paper can do the job too and electric welding tin for the bars. The half rings are not sufficient, you need to make a "U" bar too.

Very Nice half track,Tarp was a great idea.

Thank you Nigel,

I also add a small patch on it ( bullets or even a rat can damage the canvas) but it isn't very clearly on the picture, but here is another one:
