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.
