Officially it's called Leichter Beobachtungs Panzerwagen,translated as light observation armoured car.
It was used mainly as forward observer mostly in Stug units.Stugs were part of the artillery instead of the Tank Arm.
You could call it Arti Recon.
Long story short: Yep,artillery spotter.

Yep,still here folks.
The use of the Vallejo Surface Primer turned out great!
After that I used Future (still got a bit of the old formula) and several coats and shades of Panzer Grey followed by enamel and oil paints washes,went for a used look, and this will be followed by stripy white wash camo.
Pigment work,more layers will follow,You will not see much of it once it is on the base,but working with pigments are kinda therapy for me.
More to come later,thanks for dropping by!

Sd.Kfz. 253 le Beob.Pz.Wg. "zebra"
Missus:"what's that,is it a zebra?"
Me:"...eh,yeah...it's a zebra"
Experimenting with Gouache to get the typical field applied White Wash stripes as seen on the box art.
I used White and Cold Grey by Talens,the grey is mainly used on the shadow parts of the vehicle,and a white grey mix on some parts,white mainly on the parts that catch the most light.
Adding a bit of tap water to the Gouache will benefit the scruffy look.
More to come later.

More therapy (pigment work)
I've added one more layer of pigments.The lighter the colors are,the more the dryness is.Darker colors for more moistness in the dirt.I didn't go for a complete wet look,as it will be an almost frozen scene on my dio.
Yes some kit parts are broken again,going to fix that in a later stage.
(really,really,really have to stop breaking things on my models!)
