From MartyH: My First Submission SDKFZ233

Hi all.

My first ever submission to the AHPC, and on the last day before the cutoff! Cutting it fine as always :)

Anyway this is a kit I have had in the cupboard for while, an all metal 1/56 SDKFZ233 (8RAD) open topped with a short 75mm. This vehicle will go great in support of my existing Panzer Grenadier Platoon with numerous halftracks. The kit did not come with crew, and I would like to rectify that in the future.




This thing quite literally weighs a tonne compared to the normal resin/plastic kits and was great fun painting!
Thanks Marty

Welcome aboard, Marty, a great first entry! I've always like the 8-rads ever since I had a Matchbox Puma. Is that airbrushed? The camo, shading, etc. is excellent. I'd love to see some crew to bring it to life.
