Comments: I love this bight olive green color in this illustration, and that is the color that I'm shooting for in my AFV's.

Assembly Info: The hood on this model was quite the trick, I thought that you needed a single fold when really there was a three fold process on the piece of plastic that was cut off the sprue.

Merry X-mas from Tank Taco

It was a good Xmas. My son received a HO scale train that has been running in circle all Christmas long. He gave me a Tank from the local drug store (CVS) as a gift that turned out to be a Panzer IV, which turned out to be the same tank that I had just bought a Osprey Publication as a gift to my self.   It's a Xmas miracle!

Another Christmas miracle was getting some free time to put on test coat of Army Painter Quick Shade (Medium). It was a make or break moment for the future of me in this hobby, since my last attempt at shading with varnish was a horrible flop (the horror). But as I brushed on Quick Shade on to the only painted 15mm & 1/72 I had, which I had toiled over for far too long, and as the room was filled with the smell of turpentine cleaner & my sole was filled with the Xmas spirit, a Miracle happened once more, with the successful QuickShading of the figures, and thus an extension of my hobby pursuits into the future.

Hasegawa 1/72nd WWII German Sd.Kfz 7/2 37m/mAA.

Comments: I had a hard time choosing between this and 20mm/AA version. I used the computer at hobby shop to try to investigate whether this version was used summer of 1943 but could not get any useful info. I ended choosing this version over the 20mmAA because of the higher caliber, however I found later that this 37m/mAA did not appear till late 43'. So if I get a chance I'll pick up the 20mmAA version. However this might be the next model on the work bench, so I can work out any kinks in building so other Sd.Kfz's come out better.

Hasgawa 1/72nd German Mercedes Benz G4

Comments: I was in hobby shop and found in a different pile of models from some one's old re-sold collection  of a bunch of 1/72nd Hasegawa models. I had seen this model before and was thinking of it being used with Pegasus' "German's in Berlin 1945" since it has figure of Hitler with 2 young Hitler youth. I passed on that model a couple of years ago, so when I saw it again, I snapped it up. I'm glad I waited because this model was packaged in late 70's or early 80's ( from my research) and it contains swastika flags for the staff car, which seems to have been dropped in newer packaging of model.
