This is the AFV Club 1/2 track. The individual link tracks by AFV were also used. The kit tracks were very good but I opted to use what I had in stock. The conversion to a munitions carrier was done using the Hobby Fan kit. This kit also included an engine and fender mounted jerry cans and brackets. The detail the resin pieces was very clean and crisp. I also chose to add 3 more jerry cans for water. These were Tamiya cans.

This AFV Club kit was the first kit from this manufacturer I have built and went together very smoothly. I painted in DAK service. Most of the 1/2 tracks started off in the traditional German gray color which is the way I started the paint work. The Hobby fan engine went into place perfectly and mated-up well to the kit transmission.

I cut the engine hood side panels in 1/2 to open the engine compartment to reflect how it would have been done in the desert to help engine cooling. The magazine panels did take a little time for fitment but ultimately worked well and looks good too.

I blacked base, followed primer red-brown on certain areas I wanted to bring out for weathering later. I used 'scratches' fluid by Mig next followed by German gray.

Next the Uschi splatter airbrush stencils were used to break up the flat panels.

The seats in the cabin and bed were finished in a leather look.
