Sd.Kfz. 222 "Siegfried"


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, here's my second (almost) finished model. I planned to paint it in the Polish campaign colours, but I looked more closely at the versions of this vehicle and the Tamiya kit I built wasn't really accurate for this purpose. I don't recommend this kit anyway, as it was poorly cast (the two halves of the injection moulds were not properly aligned and I had to spend a lot of time sanding the seams) and has some accuracy issues (it is a model from 1975 as indicated on the sprues, it's time to update your releases, Tamiya!). I decided to use it as a training exercise as I'm still in my nascent stages as a modeller and here it is in the N. African campaign colours and dirt.

I like the weathering, especially the effect of  the dust and dirt being worn off exposed edges. Very realistic. 

Thank you, I'm really pleased you like it. That's a real motivational boost for a humble beginner :)
