Here are pictures of my 250 Half-track. It was bought, built and painted prior to a lot of the extra parts now being offered as add-ons.
It's done in a three tone Normandy camo pattern.
For the base coat, I used Krylon Fusion for Plastics 2438 Satin Khaki.
For the camo, I used Tamiya arcylics; XF-64 red brown, XF-61 dark green, XF-60 dark yellow.
I asked a friend of mine to help me with the camo pattern and dusting because I have 3 cats who love to "help" and there's really no room to work on it at my house.
The interior is done with a cannibalized Dragon Kubel. I took the rear seat and the driver's seat and modified them to fit the rear of the half-track. The other front passenger seat was modified and used for the radio operator.
To get the sag in the tracks, I took a 1/8 inch drill bit to enlarge the block side of every other track link relieving the tension and allowing proper fit.
The machine gun shields and mounts are from Armorpax. The rear machine gun mount was threaded and a small nut was used to stabilize it because the weight of the mount with the gun made it want to flop all over. I thought this was a quick and easy fix.
Any extras are basic Dragon weapons, ammo boxes and gear that I pulled out of my parts box.
I hope everyone enjoys the pictures. I'm looking forward to purchasing another one to work on since for the price, it's a good quality kit.
