These are some of the figures from the recent Perry order. Wanted some figures to crew some existing vehicles. Two figures in the Corgi 1:50th Sd.Kfz. 7 are from another maker – who I can’t recall. The two are molded as one piece and they’re seated in the last row, driver’s side. Most of the figures are painted up for the Western Desert Campaign, but I used one of the German TC’s for the KV-2 Beutepanzer.

The Sd.Kfz. 7 has markings for a Waffen SS unit and the camo is more European Theater, but wanted to include it in my DAK force. It may someday haul an 88mm flak gun.

Just a quick blog post of a simple project, but I like having vehicles with crews, particularly TC’s popping out of their hatch. Since the figures are half-bodied or seated, the painting was quick and given the Minwax stain treatment. Below is how they looked after the staining. After spraying with matte, I only gave the flesh parts a wash of Vallejo Skin Wash and highlighted.

I actually just placed another Perry order – some FFL to oppose the Ramcke Fallshirmjaeger. We’ll see how long this order takes to arrive. Again, the Perrys are quick on their end, but the rest of the delivery is dependent upon the postal system. Thanks again for dropping by and wishing you all the best.
