Bobsalt:
I don't know how much interest there would be in this, but here are some photos of what I've painted up recently. First up - some Pz IVDs in 1942 Eastern Front pattern. German AFVs at the start of the war were painted grey because the theory is that would make them less visible when stopped in shadows. On the plains of Russia, however, the grey color made them very visible. They began to use a two tone system, such as this one, and eventually moved to a base color of dunklegelb, with camouflage patterns over this. These are PFC-CinC models (from their Axis & Allies special) and a true pleasure to paint.

Bobsalt:
Some Sd Kfz 251 halftracks in early war grey. I'm not sure who made them - they came from the deluxe version of the first edition I bought from them back in 2005. Quality on them isn't great so I experimented a little with them, including a flag draped on the hood as an air recognition marker.

Bobsalt:
Some more German halftracks, this time in late war Eastern Front camo pattern. These are GHQ models, and much better quality than the previous ones. After I had photographed these I saw the slips of the brush when I painted the interior seats, so these will be going back to the factory for some touch up work. These will be SS Panzer Grenadiers.

Bobsalt:
Some Pz 38(t)s, in an early war blue-grey scheme. I'm not sure why, but some vehicles in the early part of the war were blue-gray instead of the normal grey. Anyone who knows why feel free to chime in. The blue doesn't show that much in this photo, but is really cool looking on the map. I loved working on these - I thinned the paint a little, which left the rivets a little lighter than the hulls.

Bobsalt:
Some SiG 33s. I had these laying around, and decided to use them as stand-ins for the Jagdpanzers.
