Sd.Kfz 10 Half-Track (2 pack)

1:144 -  HALF TRACK  SD.KFZ  10  - (2 PACK)

Overview
This is a scalemodel of the German 'Sd.Kfz 10';  a 1 ton half-track for 1:144 WW2 dioramas.  The vehicle could carry 8 soldiers (6 in the back) and was widely used on all fronts as a prime mover for small towed guns and trailers.  This product contains 2 versions of the halftrack; convertible canvas top in 'open' and 'closed' position.  Link to my other 1/144 models

Painting
Before painting, always degrease your model in a glass of lukewarm water and a drop of dishwashing soap (do not use a dishwasher!).  Allow it to dry completely before painting.
Aplie a thin layer of paint, use 'drybrush' techniques to bring the detail alive.  Paint the inside, tracks and figures first before gluing.  If you don't have a lot of experience; watch multiple 'tutorials' on youtube about painting model vehicles.  You can't rush art, so take your time to finish the model ;).

Scale  1:144
1:144 is a popular scale for aircraft and half the size of 1:72 models. It's a great scale when creating large dioramas with multiple models in one scene, especially if you don't have much space available. You can combine tanks, airplanes, vehicles, buildings... to create an epic historical battle landscape. (Normandy, Battle of the bulge,...)
Also very small diorama's with just one vehicule can be an intriguing 'eye-catcher' on your desk.

Thanks for stopping by & have fun!
