Pete, cheers me ole mucker . This evening I completed the build . I must say that the tracks are the fiddliest, diddliest little buggers I have ever put together , thank gawd that there are two large segments for the top and bottom runs . The smoke dischargers on the front have had the wiring added, which I also have no idea where it ran to, so I just bundled them together and made a hole in the front left side to run 'em through . Hopefully tomorrow it might get some primer . Oh yes, the cab armour, tracks / running gear and rocket launcher are only dry fitted, these really need painting first and then fixing later

Paul, that looks really great. That would be nasty in a street fight, no doubt.
Regards,
Ian

Cheers chaps, whilst playing silly buggers with my old computor, which is now running again . I did get some work done here, It's been primed and the first camouflage colour is down too . Being a late war vehicle I have given this little rowdy a green base colour, next (tomorrow) will be some sand and red-brown .

Pete, Ian, cheers chaps . I used Vallejo 71.022 RLM82 (light green) for this, I'll get a lightened shade on tomorrow. Then I'll start with camo, probably sponged on, but I'm not 100% certain yet.

Ian, Boots, cheers chaps . I added the camo colours today. I want this to look like it has been done in a last minute dash, to least get some sort of hiding shades on there. I used a stiff brush dipped in Dunkelgelb and then red-brown and dabbed over the vehicle. I take it the commander of this had seen similar on StuGs earlier in the war, and wanted to copy this ambush scheme onto his Wanze . With this vehicles main fighting area being the Tiergarten in Berlin, it should help hide his ass for a little while .

Wow, that is some sensational camouflage there! Way to go!
Congrats Robbo on 2K!
I'm curious about this vehicle... I've not been able to find any info on it. Is it a Panzer '46 vehicle, never been made? Or did this actually get built and used?

Nice ‘rush job’ camo Paul, I still wouldn’t have wanted to be sat in this when an ISU 152 came around the corner though!
