Italeri 1/72 Sd.kfz 250/3 Halftrack + R12 Motorcycle and Sidecar (Zeszda ) Barbarrossa 1941
This Little model seemed to want to fight me all the way so after a talking to and being left skulking or sulking in the build box for a while, it eventually came round to my way of thinking and behaved itself. The fist thing that upset me was the fact that although three nice figures are included - no Rommel for the famous Grief version.Very misleading box artwork. I appreciate this is an old Esci kit but come on, new box, new stickers (yep that's what I call them) why not new Figures, so the Barbarrossa version it was.
Some slight modifications were made to the vehicle namely lowering the high sit of the suspension.
I also made some alteration to the figures which included a new head for the commander, the figure holding the helmet had the lump that was supposed to be a helmet ground away and a new one glued in place.The third figure holding the riffle received a new arm
Valejo paints were used throughout for the painting process of the vehicle and figures.
