As I continue to think about that Dragon Panzer, I decided to reflect for a few moments on what my current German motor pool looks like. It is neither particularly great modeling, nor is there a whole lot of it and it is definitely "late war".
First up is my Kubelwagen. It started out as a 21st Century Toys vehicle. I raised the body about a half inch so that it looked a little more correct with my schwimmwagen (probably should have lowered the schwimmer actually). I added quite few details, but it is still not in the same league as the Dragon version.
This is my schwimmwagen. It is your basic 21st Century vehicle. I made a few basic modifications to it, but nothing radical. I didn't cut it apart and radically change it, it was just small stuff; extra details, a scratchbuilt radio. I based it on a vehicle that was featured in modeling magazine. Certainly not up to the quality of a Dragon schwimmer, but it is a good basic vehicle and it works well with my 6th SS troops.
This is my Hetzer. CK2 is always giving me a hard time about not finishing it (standing joke we have). Actually, it is "finished", about as finished as any vehicle ever is. There are quite a lot of mods I would like to do to this one. I just need some solid time to put in on it. This is an old Mardon Callenta vehicle, so it's pretty well crafted, but it is fairly basic and it could use some serious detailing to become a really great looking vehicle.
This is of course my pride and joy; my sd.kfz 250/3, finished as an SS vehicle. This baby has been heavily modified and it is all done with what I had on hand. There are no after-market parts on this half-track. I probably have about two hundred hours in this model and of course when I look at it, I see a lot of flaws, but I am still fairly proud of it.
My motor pool, as you can see, is all late war and of course the Panzer II is an early war vehicle. I really don't have a whole lot of early war stuff. It is going to be a lot fun to put together a small early war unit. I am having a lot of fun thinking about it and planning it.
Well, hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorite vehicles, until next time, have a good one!
