1/72 Revell SdKfz 7/1 "116th Tank Division"

[Roman Schilhart]

Dear fellow Britmodellers,

being primarily an aircraft modeler, I'm rarely contributing to this subforum;

however, I'm proud to present one of the few tracked vehicles I finished recently.

This is Revell's 1/72 SdKfz 7/1, built with the addition of Schatton metal gun barrels.

Represents a vehicle of Heeresflak-Abteilung 281 (mot), 116th Tank Division "Windhund", operating in the Aachen region in late 1944.

Read more about combat actions of 116th Tank Division here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/116th_Panzer_Division_(Wehrmacht)

I painted with Gunze acrylics and weathered with artists oils and pastel chalks.

I still need to improve on my weathering techniques for combat vehicles, but I hope you like the outcome.

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic.

With best greetings from Vienna,

Roman

Now if only I could get mine looking as good as that, I'd be well pleased.

 

It looks excellent to me.

Hi My Friend Roman!!!

Congratulations for yout new jewel!!! I have watched carefully this one and enjoyed what you have done, a real great job!!

I liked a huge lot the weathering and overal results and agree with all the guys above.

 

I have bought some vehicles and was afraid to go into the fray with them as have too much kits started and nothing finished since a long time ago...anyway, your work acts as a motivation tool to make sometyhing in that area to look for something different, and for sure will try and go one of those days and for sure will ask you for something to advice my job. If my results are at least the 30% as good as yours will be happy, but if surpass it, will be more than happy.

 

Thank you very much for sharing,

Cheers,

Luis Alfonso

Well, I did learn a bit from your fabulous tank models - although I feel I'm not quite there yet!

Thanks for feedback,

Roman

Great work love the weathering ,must get this kit.

I could easily be fooled that this was 1/35 scale, really makes me fancy having a go at these smaller scale kits. Really impressive work. 😁
