2nd SS Panzer Div StuH 42

February 23, 2024 · in Armor · · 6 · 189

Tamiya StuG / kit as a Das Reich StuH during summer in . Vehicle built straight from box, rear deck stowage is from Value Gear in AZ. Hoping to show some variety and repair/replacements I used Vallejo colors & free hand airbrush for the body and Tamiya with masking for the plates. I used washes and pigments to tie them together. I also painted a replacement skirt plate on the right side and the tank skipper is wearing an earlier issued M40 side cap with the field gray uniform. I took these photos with my phone instead of the IPad so hopefully they show details clearer. But with my modeling skills maybe blurry is better.
