On the Workbench - Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf. D Half-track - Part 2

It's taken some time but I've finally finished the test vehicle for my Flames of War German army, an Sd.Kfz 251/1 Half-track. In the first part of the article I discussed painting the base colours, including the airbrushed camouflage. This time around it is all about weathering!

I'm rather happy with the results considering it's the first piece of WWII armour I've ever painted! The techniques I used were rather simple to do, though in some cases they took a lot of trial and error to get the hang of.

On the Workbench - Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf. D Half-track - Part 1

I recently purchased my first airbrush (a Harder and Steenbeck Evolution Silverline 2 in 1) and before I get started attempting late war German 3-tone camo on my backlog of tanks and vehicles, I decided to have a practice on something that I'm not planning on using for the army.

Last year I won a 15 mm scale Plastic Soldier Company Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf. D half-track model in a competition run by Osprey Publishing, which proved ideal for a test bed!
