Now I started to work again on the Kharkov LAH vignette, replacing the planned SdKfz 250 with a SdKfz 222. The kit is from Hobbyboss, and is very nicely detailed. I will also add some figures from Alpine Miniatures, Max Wünsche, Kurt Meyer and some SS soldiers.

I almost finished the chassis of the SdKfz 222:

I also started to work on the base. The snow is made from plaster, with imprinted tire marks and footprints. On top, I added a mixture made from baking soda and white glue, which dries to a nice icy sheen:

The figures that will be placed directly into the snow are already primed, and Kurt Meyer received the first paint…

New project: Charkov 1943 revisited – with SPW SdKfz 250

While I am finishing the Opel Blitz, I also started to work on a new project. I want to add some more figures to the two guys from the Charkov 1943 vignette. I will add Max Wünsche as well as two grenadiers and a vehicle. The latter will be a SPW (SdKfz 250).

The SPW kit is from Dragon and resembles the /11 version with Panzerbüchse, which I will replace with a MG. I also have some PE sets from Aber in stock.

Until now, I started building the lower hull. I am excited to build this one, as I will first try a winter white wash with hair spray.
