Hi guys
finally I'm at my first campaign on Modeler's Alliance.
My project is a little car in 1/35 scale, the famous "Kubelwagen " . My idea is to make the Kubel in Normandy with SS Crew while they see a Jabo in the sky.

Hi guys

my first photos on this project. Tamiya's kit is very easy to assembly, the general form is very convincing. There are possibility to add most details a this good kit.
I suggest to visit the website http://www.primeportal.net/trucks/yuri_pasholok/typ_82_kubelwagen/

I have added the weld on exhausts , removed two pins and closed with putty and make a hole in terminal.
More little details is visible in photo

The seats are simplified, I have engraved only the rear structure to simulate the springs

I prefer now to make the preshading on floor, engine zone and others internal zone because not easy to paint after the mounting.

Hi guys

I insert an Update , some photos of paint step.

I have sprayed a light coat of Black Vallejo for preshading, after the base coat of Dunkelgeld, realized it with a mix of Vallejo 71081 + white from air colour.
The tamiya green XF43 completed the camo.

The new step is the lining with oils colour, as in picture. The Hitlerjugend symbol is realized with stencil, the plates with trasfers numbers. I have found in internet a dbase with some plates numbers of german vehicle during WWII, and this is the criteria because I have reproduced the 175071 number.
