Tamiya 1/35 Scale German Hanomag/Half-track Sd.kfz.251/1 Model

A 1/35 scale model of the German Hanomag Sd.kfz.251/1 that i have just completed, a few progress photos and some of the finished model. Had a lot of fun building this one.

That looks amazing! The weathering is spot on, especially the rusted area's. How do you do that? And the mud in the tracks?
I've just finished a 1/35 scale 42cm Howitzer (Big Bertha) and kinda missed the boat with the attempt at weathering it. I just built the kit and didn't think about painting as I went.
Great job, very impressive!

Thanks for the comments, this was actually my first model build so kind of had to learn as i went along, i think it turned out ok and i am pleased with it but i did learn a lot from a few mistakes along the way. The mud and rust was done by using washes and pigments.

Your weathering and wear detail skills are well honed and, as starshell said, very impressive. Worthy of a showing in Fine Scale Modeller magazine.

... this was actually my first model build ...

If that was your first model, I definitely want to see what you create if you have more experience. :tinysmile_fatgrin_t
Hope you keep sharing pictures.

Best wishes from Germany.
