Been hard getting anytime to do hobby stuff since Xmas due to lockdowns, which for me make the day job very busy!

Finally managed to get a sec to work on this flak track... its a Sdkfz 10/4 using both the Ceaser kits to make the armoured version...

The completed winter Waffen-SS force just got… more completed?

Converted officer to look a bit more ‘at the front’ and one of the new snipers.
