The camouflage I used was the one used by Afrika Korps, which is found in various models used on Italian front.

I've heard that kit is a bit fiddly to put together - if so, thats even makes it even more fantastic.

The kit is not the best for the assembly and there are no instructions, but is detailed.
For the assembly you must have some reference photos, I had fortunately those of a tamiya kit.

I know but i've see one photo in one of the most GOTHIC LINE museum without ring and the end of barrel black from the heat.

Corner near Carentan. I took some photos for reference but have no idea where they are!

Great inspiration and just making things even more exiting and fun! I have been building WWII vehicles, panzers and other items related to the subject like crazy the past few weeks, or months really, and are finally getting to a point where I have a small but impressive hardware pool.
Most of us in our gaming group, are very keen on actually having vehicles supporting all our mechanized and motorized troops including a fully supported HQ and reccon vehicles, even though most of them dont do anything in the game, besides looking good on the gaming table. It do add flavour and makes the table look more inhabited.
