New arrives on February 2020 (part 1)

During this month I have started active painting of all figures that I had on my shelf and in boxes. I will start porting of my progress with the painting in the nearest future.

Today I am going to share the latest kit that I have received:

- Hobby Fan (HF568) - Flak 18 Crew set (afrikakorps)

1/72 Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H number 536 (SS-Pz.Div. Hitler Jugend, Normandy 1944)

The G variant of the Pz. IV was produced starting in May 1942. In April 1943 production began on the H variant—eventually the most massively produced version of the Pz. IV. The Ausf. H shared the upgraded gun of the Ausf. G, and utilized a single 80-mm front glacis plate instead of layered plates. A new transmission slightly reduced vehicle speed but was more reliable. The tanks of this variant also featured side screens, 5–8 mm thick, on the hull and turret sides. A total of 3,774 vehicles of the Ausf. H were built.

Model from Zvezda, built from box and painted with acrylics paints.

1/72 Sturmgeschutz III Ausf E

StuG III Ausf. E: (Sd.Kfz 142; September 1941 – February 1942, 284 produced) Superstructure sides added extended rectangular armoured boxes for radio equipment. Increased space allowed room for six additional rounds of ammunition for the main gun (giving a maximum of 50) plus a machine gun. One MG 34 and seven drum-type magazines were carried in the right rear side of the fighting compartment to protect the vehicle from enemy infantry. Vehicle commanders were officially provided with SF14Z stereoscopic scissor periscopes. Stereoscopic scissor type periscopes for artillery spotters may have been used by vehicle commanders from the start.

Model from Trumpeter, painted with acrylics paints.

1/72 Sd.Kfz.184 Ferdinand with 211 number (2 kompanie, s.Pz.Jg.Abt 653, Kursk 1943 )

Model from Trumpeter (07205), built from box, painted with acrylics paints and using different effects.

1/35 The last stand (SS grenadiers 1945)

Figures from Dragon and painted with acrylics paints. Hand made base.
