Had another go at some Armor - Sdkfz 222 1:48

[Keeto™]

Hi everyone,

 

Had another go at some armor and completed this little guy a couple of weeks ago.

 

I think I improved a little bit with the color this time if compared to my first attempt here. And yes, the one cage on the turret is intended to be a different colour, I was trying to imply that one of them was recently replaced.

 

Tamiya 1:48 Sdkfz 222 - Tamiya Acrylics, Abtulung Oils, Flory Wash, Black Dog resin bags etc, Vallejo Pigments.

 

Enjoy and please constructively critique away.

Super, great paintwork and finish. I find these 1/48 armour kits a bit small these days but yours is excellent.

Beautiful weathering effects, lovely little model

I do like that, it could easily pass for 1/35.

I'm tempted to do more 1/48 vehicles myself.

Very nice. Terrific paintwork and weathering.

Thanks Jasper Dog. Here is sense of the size...I just realized that pic shows it with the aerial, which promptly got snapped off during the photo shoot!

Thanks Gorby, I love the scale, I don't have enough display space at the mo, so it helps with that.

Superb!  

 

That is a wonderful build of a tiny little critter.  I hope you share many more of your builds and that you continue in 1/48 scale.  I too like their small size and they can be made into great little models.  Are you going to make a base for it?

[FrancisGL]

I love color, and weathering, could perfectly go through a higher scale. 

Cheers mate

That's a perfect little gem!

 

No suggestions for improvement from me.

 

Rearguards,

Thanks ya'll!!

 

Hi Dan,

 

Yes, I was thinking of doing a little base for it....but then I started with this guy:

 

 

 

So I don't know if I'm ever going to get to that base!

I say get to building two of them at the same time!  

 

I mean you'll have all the bits and materials out anyway...so get cracking.

 

I dearly know the draw of the new kit as I have far too many projects on the go right now.  Keep having fun and share you fine results as the mood strikes as I am intrigued as to how that will come out under paint.
