Easter Project

I have been thinking about producing a WW2 German recce group for my army, and just before Easter I acquired four eight wheel heavy armoured cars:

When I removed them from the packaging I found four plastic and basic vehicles that would need a lick of paint:

There are three versions of vehicle. One is a Puma 50mm armed vehicle and the other three have the option of either a 75mm support vehicle, or 20mm armed recce vehicle. I decided to have one support, two recce and the Puma armoured cars.

The vehicles needed to be properly assembled so I took them apart, creating a huge pile of bits:

There was quite a bit of flash that required cutting and filing down:

Anyway, after a couple of days of building and painting the re-assembled armoured cars now look like this:

The 75mm support vehicle:

Two 20mm armed vehicles:

And the Puma:

To support this group I also painted a unit of elite German infantry, using the old Mark 1 Airfix German infantry:

Now Easter is over, back to my ACW battle.
