Tamiya scale model kits

1/48th Bandai SdKfz 232 Fulfilling an Old Modeling Adage.

These are the photos that came out, I've been having focus problems of late The 1970's Tamiya Pzll, with Alan Pzll roadwheels and idler, spares box tools and paper tarp, with Wespe tracks (shortened)

Yet another WIP!
