'Reconnaissance' from AlexK: Recon

Hi everyone,

  This is my first post for this years challenge and I've doubled up by getting an early bonus round post in. Now on to the figures, these are two of my favourite AFVs (Only wargamers will have a favourite tank, just try and drop that question into casual conversation at work and see the looks you get!) a Sd.Kfz 231 8-rad and a Sd.Kfz 222 both in 15mm. These will be part of my recon platoon when playing Battlegroup Overlord and Chain of Command.



I went for the ambush camo pattern which turned out to be quite laborious, but if any unit would need it most I guess it'd be these guys.




I tried not to go overboard with the weathering, just a touch of mud on the wheels and skirts.



The 8-rad is from the plastic soldier company whilst the 222 is a Zvezda kit, both kits when together really easily and were a nice and easy paint job.
