It is a German army’s eight-wheel armored car. It seems like an ancestor of a U.S. Striker. I made it in January 2008.
Ｉ have only made AFV with caterpillar since open this site, but this time I try to make truck-like AFV. For me, it is my first time painting German 3 color camouflage.

And opened a box, looking at the manual. It seems considerably complex chassis, with too many parts. It is fresh feelings for me to assemble a new type of kit.

Because internal was reproduced, assembly and painting were done in a general way. The inside is not to be seen too much though the windows are made all open. It becomes a luxurious structure that can control the direction of the back and forth either.

The assembly was completed. I forgot to attach one of the jerrican belts. The eight-wheeled armored vehicle is very good-looking!

The photo-etched parts are in this kit moderately, I think it’s a good balance. There is a volume of information and avoiding monotony with considerably a lot of OVE.
The engine grill can also choose an opening style. The photo-etched part of a star antenna was attached.
Two relaxed German soldiers on the turret.
One is from a Tamiya kit, another is from Dragon and I changed to resin heads.

I blow clear only in the space of marking to avoid shining decal.
This is armor scout car Sd.Kfz234/2. 234 series was a final type of the German armor scout car, designed to adjust for various climates. Most were produced in 1944, and the amounts were about 100 cars.
Marking is the 20th armor division in Bohemia in 1945 which is one of the examples of this instruction manual. Recent the 20th armor division deplored with the Schlesien Bosnia area (Between today Poland and the Czech Republic).
This painting was small dotted three-color camouflage. The chroma is considered insufficient for actual painting this time.
The steering wheel of this vehicle is all moving so I shifted the tires a little sliding right and left.
This star antenna has an atmosphere of the reconnaissance unit. The precise feeling was improved by these photo-etched parts.
The silhouette changes if it turns behind the turret and it’s interesting. It is likely to have retreated panicking in such shape because there were control compartments in ahead and the following both of this vehicle.
I think that there were various uniforms at the end of the war chaos.
The detail of the kit has a precise feeling and doesn’t have the fault. However, when it is posed calm soldier, it doesn’t look like in 1945 almost the end of the war.
The toolbox was loaded on the back though the jerrican was able to be loaded on the front and the back variously. The two jerricans changed the color into gray for a change.
I painted in clear orange for the wood part of the OVE. It has become like indoor furniture.
I only did the weathering of these 8 tires emphatically, not so heavy weathering on the body because of its 3 color camouflage. The eight-wheel armored vehicle is fairly good-looking.

I am interested in models of tanks, airplanes, ships, military figures, I build it little by little when I feel like it. I am also interested in the history of war. My starting is Tamiya’s Military Miniature series in the elementary school.
From elementary school through university students repeatedly suspend and restart my modeling, it’s about 25 years of this hobby’s history.
Born in February 1970, I live in Tokyo. From February 2007 I was quietly doing a site called “Miniature-Arcadia”. It is being transferred to this blog with the same name from December 2016. My update pace is uneven, but please come to see here occasionally.
