No, not the fuel truck but the Schwimmwagen amphibious car in glorious 1/72 scale.

Here's the sprue shot..

And this is how big she is...

Looking forward to it and been a long time since I built any 1/72 wheeled stuff. Who knows, might even do a little diorama for it! ;)

Bit more done on this wee fella.

First coat of camo green on...

Followed by the reddish brown

Posted ImageAcademy_1_72_Schwimmwagen_paint_3 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr

Looked a bit too 'new' for a vehicle in the field so tried to dull it back by drybrushing the base colour over the camo...

And started adding bits like the hood, frame and tools..

Will get started on the weathering later on.

Cheers,
Dermot

So with the snow and a couple of days off work, got the little Schwimmwagen finished.

Probably a little over-weathered - i'm not used to weathering armour vehicles but it will be on a muddy diorama base.

The only non-kit bits are the extra wheels on the back which are from the spares box.

I'm also adding these metal figures to it from SHQ MIniatures.

Which will hopefully end up with something like this from the Ardennes, December 1944.
