SdKfz 251/7 - KG Peiper, Ardennes December 1944

This is the DML SdKfz 251/7 (Engineer variant), painted as a late war, Ardennes campaign vehicle. It was inspired by a colour plate in "Duel in the Mist 2" and features a factory applied late war paint scheme. I added Archer balkenkreuz, an SS number plate to the front and a shipping stencil.

It's pretty much OOTB - it's a superb kit - but I stuffed out the interior with engineer gear - boxes, explosives, mines and tools. The figures are a mixture of resin and styrene; DML, Cromwell and an unidentified resin standing figure in cold-weather trousers, panzer wrap and Hornet head (wearing cold weather cap). I added Archer SS collar titles where appropriate. Anyway, here it is:

    Very nicely done, very good interpretation of the color plate in duel in the mist.

    How did you do the hard edge camo? Masking would be too "hard edge" but just air brushing freehand might be too "soft edge".

    Hi Braxen,
    Glad you liked it! The painting was done freehand to begin with using xtracrylics, and then the insides of the colour blocks were tightly sprayed using Tamiya acrylics.
    Best regards,
    Dave
