Hello everybody, after my Arnhem dio I started with this little one.It's a scene nearby the city of Dordrecht as where the Germans were trying to capture the important brigdes over the river Maas. A Sd.kfz 323 is meeting a group of Fallschirmjaeger. It was in the first days of may 1940 ( may 10 - 13 ) I tried to represent that moment in this dio.The trees have fresh green leaves, sun is shining and the road-sides are covered with cow-parsley.The soldiers look weary and tired.
I used the Roden Model of the 323.It's not a pleasant kit to build.Lots of tiny parts and its made of a rather soft plastic.So it''s difficult to remove flash.Also the parts are so tiny, when you remove them from the sprue, they just snap away and then: beware of the carpetmonster!
I opened the back-side of the little tower and placed a figure in it ( I don't know anymore which brand, it's metal though.)
The parachutists are SHQ, my favourite brand.Painting is done in GWS acrylics
