It’s a plastic model figure of the self-propelled gun crew of the German army in WWII, but it can be said as an ordinary tank crew in winter uniform. I expected it to be a good figure Dragon Models…
It is unusual for the Dragon Models figures; the fitting of the body and the left and right feet is bad. As it is a winter uniform, the large size is OK.
German army marks and letters are engraved on the fuel can. It is nice.
Everyone is wearing a winter uniform. They were wearing extra layers of clothes and bundled up.

The brush painting is easier to paint when blowing a surfacer.
All heads are replaced with resin. The plastic face of this kit seems to be hard to paint.
If you do lightly washing after the camouflage paint finishes, the whole tone will become a proper degree with the matte condition.

I don’t think they match the situation with Neubau, but posing in combination with a tank is like this.
The camouflage uniform backside is snow white. Around the collar is folded and white.
Probably he doesn’t supervise the loading of ammunition, but this confident face looks like the tank commander.
It is a camouflage paint of dark green and red-brown in the primary beige paint. In addition, there are small black vertical lines, and I think it’s a considerably detailed process in the painting of German army uniforms.
It wasn’t easy to attach the hand, and Jerry could handle it. I did the chipping to the Jerry can after basic painting.
Everyone is wearing winter gloves.
The tank crew’s expression is hard to understand if you do not peek from underneath.
I do not want to make figures of soldiers with sad faces so much, so I wonder if this expression is right.
Perhaps this German self-propelled artillery crew is good for Hummel, Grille, Bison, Brummbär, etc. Unexpectedly, I don’t have a kit with a 15cm howitzer AFV now. There are also cases of having other shells, but if the length of the cannon is different, it may be better to adjust the position of the arm balance.

I am interested in models of tanks, airplanes, ships, military figures, I build them little by little when I feel like it. I am also interested in the history of war. My starting is Tamiya’s Military Miniature series in elementary school.
From elementary school through university students repeatedly suspend and restart my modeling, it’s about 25 years of this hobby’s history.
From February 2007 I was quietly doing a site called “Miniature-Arcadia”. It is being transferred to this blog with the same name from December 2016. My update pace is uneven, but please come to see me here occasionally.
