The SdKfz 251 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251) half-track was an armored fighting vehicle designed and first built by Nazi Germany’s Hanomag company during World War II. One of the most common, and best armoured of the wartime half-tracks, the SdKfz 251 was designed to transport the panzergrenadiers of the German mechanized infantry corps into battle. Widely known simply as “Hanomags” by both German and Allied forces, they were widely produced throughout the war, with over 15,252 vehicles and variants produced in total by various manufacturers.
This is an old metal model that I think was made by SDD. I am using it as a testbed for which method I should use with my Flames of War resin models and I suspect in the end it will probably end up as a piece of scenery.
Having given the model a white undercoat I gave the underneath of the model an undercoat of Humbrol Dark Brown spray.
This will add shadow to the underneath of the model.
I then gave the model a basecoat of Warpaint German Armour.
The next stage will be to add the disruptive camouflage.
See the workbench feature on the German SdKfz 251 Armoured Half Track.
