Zvezda Ju-87 Stuka

I just finished this recently for a friend - a lovely kit - went together very well.  Sadly I'm no aircraft modeller/painter so this was the best I could do:

That's it.  Thanks for looking

21st Panzer Division - Normandy 1944 - StuG Batterie

Recently I finished a StuG Batterie for the 21st Panzer Division in Normany - using Milicast models.  Two 75mm SP PzKfw 39H(f) and one 105mm SP PzKfw 39H(f) to be exact.  Each of them is crewed with AB figures Panzer Jager crews.


Here they are:

And here are some close-ups of the crews.  I tried out a few different camo patterns - mainly on their trousers - really just for a bit of fun.

These trousers are meant to be Autumn Oak leaf

The chap on the left is wearing Italian Cam trousers (well my take on it)

Splinter cam trousers for the last set.


Thanks - and I hope you like them

Last French 1940 figures

To finish off my French 1940 project (for the time being anyway) here are some shots of the last French figures I needed to paint.

The final French Officer

Medium Mortar Team

Medic!

Proper 47mm AT gun crew

So that's it for the French for now - until my next game (whenever that will be) and I decide to change the force or to add some more stuff.

Thanks

1940 French - other vehicles

Continuing the French theme - here are some other vehicles that I will be using:

First up - a Laffly W-15 TCC - by ACE Models with a Battlefield Miniatures crewman:

 

Next - a couple of S-Model Renault UE Chenillette that I use as my AT gun tows

Next - a Cromwell Models (well I'm pretty sure it's a Cromwell) Laffly V15T with an AB Figures crewman

And finally my slightly dodgy use of a Hobbyden Citreon van (post war) as an early war Radio Truck!  Well it looks that part to me anyway...

I guess one day if I ever get the correct vehicle I'll sway this out... one day....

Thanks

1940 French Armour

Once again it's been a while, but I have a few thiungs "completed" now - so time to start showing mor stuff!

Today it's some French Armour.  Everything today is from the S-Model Hotchkiss H-38/39 kit - which makes a lovely little tank.  So here they are:

This is the platoon commander's tank (hence it being crewed).  The commander is from AB Figures French set.

These are the other two tanks in the platoon.

And here the whole platoon is together.  I understand that the colours I used, along with the trench kit, show these tanks are fairly late production models.

In my one and only game with these guys, I needed a single additional H39 so I painted one up in a more "typical" French style.  I have about 3 more of these to paint.

Thanks

1940 French Infantry

Long time between posts - but here are some photos of my French Infantry.  The majority of the figures are from Pegasus with some Battlefield Miniatures thrown in.

First up - my Infantry Platoon Command Section

1st Section

2nd Section

3rd Section

And that completes the Infantry Platoon.  Of course the miniatures can be reconfigured to make a variety of French Infantry units - as they all seem to have a range of variations, so you need to make sure you paint enough to take care of any option.

Thanks

Finishing off a Late War German Panzergrenadier Platoon

Happy New Year!

I'll be attempting to reinvigorate the blog a little this year wiuth some more frequent posting.

First up will be the final figures from the Late WW2 German Panzergrenadier Platoon I started by showing the Platoon Command Team here

I'll post up the rest of the platoon in sections/squads - split into two photos each of a Rifle Team and a Medium Machine Gun Team.

Section 1

 

Section 2

Section 3

So that completes that unit. 

I feel that I can use these guys from Normandy to Berlin, as Panzergrenadiers or Volksgrenadiers - so I'm pretty chuffed with that.

Happy hunting!

Richard
