Sd.Kfz 251/17 "Late", Hungary 1945

[Arnaud Quepwik]

Since I have admired the productions of very talented and world-renowned modelers here, I dare to show my latest diorama.

Its a little dio featuring a Sd.Kfz 251/17 in Late version. It belongs to the 1st-SS-Panzer and takes place in Hungary at the end of February 1945.
The base is the Dragon with 3D printed add-ons.
The modifications to make it a Late are : change the engine hatch, slightly modify the armor of the 20mm gun and add plate hatch front.
The figures are 3D printed from an *bay seller.

Ah ! And of course it’s 1/72 scale ! Only work with this scale.

I therefore dare to post here to obtain constructive criticism from you which will allow me to evolve towards a better level.

Now, the photos :

[Timo de Porto]

I didnt even see it was braille scale at first!

 

[Roger Hurkmans]

Yes great dio!
And with the battle of Hungary as a subject you have my attention immediately!😉
Please show us your next project here, maybe with some step by step pics!

Regards,

Great dio and in the right (and only) scale !

One remark; I would have used less wires and isolators on the pole, I see this as a scene of a village in the countryside (mud road) of Hungary and in '44/'45 I would expect less electrical connections in a village (be it phone or other electrical apparatus).
Regards,

Peter

Thank you all.
This last comment is judicious but unfortunately it is too late.
