At the crossroads of Karl-Heinz-Rumenigge, still in German soil, a column of towing vehicle prepares to give a ride to its guns. Lurking in the woods the Neubaufahrzeug of Pz.Abt,zbv 40 prepares its engines to join the column.
The Kfz 69 are FtF and the Sdkfz 10 are BPM 3d prints. Both will pull the 37mm Pak, 20mm AA and 75mm IG of several units. The BPM models need some sort of paste in the areas were the printing lines are more visible. Besides the original BPM figures I added a few S&S figures in their relaxed poses to this lot.
The FtF kits are little marvels of enginneering with lots of detail and very easy to put together.
And what to say about this BPM model? One piece and its done.
The S&S passengers are very nice. This one is looking at his wrist watch and holds a map or at least I think thats what he does. The driver is my usual plastic torso with GreenStuff arms.
The Neubaufahrzeug are Minigeneral 3d prints with Fujimi tankers with Greenstuffed bonnet. I painted them in plain Panzer grey as the rest of the lot hoping they can one day reach the plains of Ukraine in 1941. In fact the few Neubaufahrzeug B, after its usage in Norway 1940, were sent to Russia and lost there against BT-7s.
As can be seen here they almost participated in the French campaign but became disheartened at the sight of the Char B1bis and fled to Germany behind their 20mm armour plates... After all they were Propaganda tanks.
Next: a few more models for the 21st PD in Normandy.
Nice work mate, love the first to fight kits too

Thanks Matt. Great option. And very cheap in Poland. It's almost worthwhile to pay a Ryan Air flight and pick ao big bunch of them directly :)
ReplyDeleteOnly problem there is that with Ryan Air you might end up in Denmark... Not seen FTF before; they paint up very well, but there again I wouldn’t expect anything less from you!
ReplyDeleteFrontline make nice resin Kfz 69s and Sdk10s but the only drawback is they have no steering wheel.
Oops! Kfz 70 from Frontline, not 69.
DeleteThanks Jeffers. I like Frontline a lot and have plenty of them. Their kfz70 is one of the latest and one of the best. But as it is the Infantry carrier I have plenty from Matchbox.
DeleteNo problem Jeffers, better no 69 as it can break our back :)
