Watto64 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I'm starting to build my first diorama using the Sd.Kfz 222 and Horch 4x4 Type 1a (both using the 1/35 scale Tamiya kits) and want to add the paraphernalia that would be carried around (packs, rucksacks etc) on the outside of the vehicle. I have oil drums, jerrycans etc in the Tamiya Sd.kfz 222 kit I'm about to start building, so I'm ok for these 'accessories'. Can anyone recommend a kit that is available for these? (similar to the Tamiya 35229 Allied Vehicle Accessory set). I've trawled through various online shops but cannot find anything plus used Scalemates.com as a resource as well. Thanks in advance!!

JackG Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Might have to consider getting one of dedicated accessory sets for the specific vehicle. There are several listed for the 222, the Horch seems to have just the one though, going by Scalemates. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) You're probably going to have to get yourself some two-part putty, and sculpt your own packs and such. DAK vehicles tended to be absolutely loaded down with items, and you'll spend a small fortune in resin assessor sets for German packs. Baking a few packs, and boxes, as well as bed rolls and such can be a lot fun, and interesting research.... All the best. Lee.

HL-10 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Have a look at Black Dog Models: https://blackdog-model.com/en-kategorie_689610-0-tech.html They do a range of accessory sets specific for vehicles such as the 222 or the Horch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto64 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) As I've only returned to modelling after a gap of 30+ years so am trying to learn a lot!!! Thanks for the updates - I've done some further research thanks to the pointers given. I'm finding that the cost of these extras actually outweighs the actual base model kit themselves!!! I may have to wait until I've built a few more models and have a 'spares' kit to draw upon! Edited October 12, 2020 by Watto64 Wrong font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Just get a couple of sets of Jerry Cans, and a pack of two part putty to make packs, bud rolls, etc, and you'll be fine. Boxes can be made from plastic card, and tarps from grease proof paper and gloss varnish. It's all part of the fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bish Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Don't know if you saw these on scalemates, but Plus Model has a set of Ww2 German equpment. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/plusmodel-424-german-rucksack-ww-ii--234045 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto64 Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 On suggestions I've gleaned from this forum, I've invested in some 2 part epoxy putty and going to attempt to make some packs etc. I've also tried making tarpaulins from double tissue, using diluted PVA glue (just made 2 and waiting for them to dry!!). As Longbow posted above, its all part of the fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
