Repainted Zvezda SdKfz 251/1

For the next Rommel game I needed an early war armoured infantry vehicle for my Germans.  I had plenty of desert camo and late war models, but nothing in grey.

I took one of the desert models, painted it black, slapped on some Tamiya grey, did a few details on the shovels and tracks, applied some transfers and gave it a dry brush and then a matt varnish and it's good to go.

The mud effects were from the previous basing when I had purchased this as a job lot for Tunisia.

On this model the front fitting was not perfect.  

I tried applying pressure to click it into place, but it was too risky.

I had thought of putting on some stowage to cover up the imperfection, 

but I was almost finished by the time I remembered

and truth be told it is not that noticeable.

No flash

That gap looks so enormous!

Hmmm, it will have to do.

For now...
