Mini Art ZIS-3 aka 7.62 cm Feldkanone 288(r)

WIP of the ZIS-3 aka 7.62 cm Feldkanone 288(r) by Mini Art, in towing mode  Generally went together without trouble, although some parts are delicate and barrel is two-part.  Painted using Mission Models dunkelgelb with a very light olivegrun camo pattern on the gun shield









Dragon Sd.Kfz. 251/? Ausf. D mit 2.8 cm Pz.B. 41

WIP of the recent Dragon Sd. Kfz. 251/1 Ausf. D mit Wurfrahmen 40 (#6861).  Decided to leave off the Wurf. 40 and add the 2.8 cm Pz.B. 41 from the Dragon Sd. Kfz. 251/7 Ausf. D (#6223).  May not have been a "standard" modification, but rather a possible field modification by 12. SS-Pz. Div. in France, 1944.  From reference pictures of the vehicle (lic. SS-193932), unclear (at least to me) as to whether base vehicle is /1 or /7 due to branches, crew etc.

Started painting using Mission Models dunkelgelb as base with olivgrun and a rot braun/NATO brown overspray.
