Airfix 1/32 Rommel's Half-Track SdKfz 250/3

Post by Titan »

My first build of the year and in fact my first build in a very long time( almost forgot what to do....lol )
It's not a bad little kit to put together though I think that some of the items are slightly overscale ie bag on port side and some of the tools above the tracks, but I just built this as is so there is no real complaint from me plus I managed to whittle my stash down by one..........
The base was nicked from my Monogram 1/32 Panzerspahwagen Sd.Kfz. 232 dio I did a while back.

It's good to see you back building something Mark and what a cracker that is. I remember building this kit back when it first came out in the 70's and needless to say, the results were somewhat less wonderful than your effort here :ha:

That looks wonderful!

I have been meaning to get hold of this kit for ages as it seems to build into such a nice model (as evidenced by your effort Titan).

Cheers

Thanks Shaun and Springy......It is indeed a fine kit for it's age and well worth seeking out to build if you do not have one in your stash, it's certainly took me by surprise.
