1:48 scale Sd.Kfz 222

[Pappa Midnight]

I haven't had much time this week for painting so I thought I'd finish a kit I've had sat around ( It's been base-coated for ages!! )
It's a 1:48 scale kit by ICM.
Pretty useless on the table-top but I like having some light vehicles aswell as the uber-armour!!




A size comparison with an Artizan Mini.

That's very nice. Is that an original cammo scheme? I like it anyway.

Very smart.As always great weathering too.

Thanks for the comments.

The camo scheme started off as a "proper" one but I ended up doodling on it....... Still it's Weird War so the purists shouldn't be too upset!!!!

Looks good with the miniature, what about putting some legs on it for a walker?

Nice colourscheme. I was thinking about something similar for my vehicles, but couldn't quite nail it, so I've put if off, but this looks great.

papa how well did the icm go together?I did a 1/72 one once and it went together nice and stood up to gaming.

Thanks Guys.

Postal: The kit only has two sprues plus the main body and chassis and some etched brass.
It went together really easily and with little ( if any) filing to get the parts to fit. It feels pretty robust although the little stub axles for the wheels are a little flimsy. I should imagine it will hold up to gaming pretty well!

Cool!

Just when I'd decided I had enough kits...One more won't hurt.

Well, since German units had wide latitude regarding how they painted their vehicles, it's actually not that far fetched.  It's pretty hard to say "that was never done" with the late-war German dark yellow/green/brown schemes. Somebody probably tried it somewhere....
