Time to mention the Sherman tanks fitted with these. Not the most accurate method but always a nice, hot show at the receiving end.
Another aerial view of the town of Sollum, but now during the wartime years and taken from a Luftwaffe aircraft. Probably early in the campaign as buildings look complete and don't show any damage.
Small error: the kit is in fact the Gunze Sangyo release, not the one from Dragon. Also have the remains of a SdKfz 250/8, this one in a brown and now extremely brittle plastic... #histscalemodels
Wanted to try to have the sprocket, road wheels and track built together as a whole unit to make for an easier painting. Seemed a bit difficult but it's being far more simple and faster that I had thought...
Found buried in the stash an unfinished, old, trashed SdKfz 253 by Dragon and decided to give it a chance. Want to keep it simple, just some weld lines and a few extra details here and there...
Still got another pic from the same prewar photo series. Easy to spot some differences with the wartime period.
Another prewar pic, a low level side shot courtesy again of the RAF. The first curves of the famous winding road up the escarpment and into Libya are easy to see...
War raging around, but there's always a quite moment for tourists to enjoy the views of Sollum Bay...
