Matchbox 1/76 Sd.Kfz 231

Posted by huib on 21 Apr 2024, 13:37

After only building French WW2 aircraft for one-and-a-half year, here is my return on the WW2 military vehicles, with a Matchbox 1/76 scale German armoured car from the Polish campaign in 1939.
By omitting the large radio antenna on the roof and adding some detail I converted the kits Sd.Kfz. 232 to a 231.

Hi huib
I really like the 232, and the tuned base is also great.
I've missed her sorely in the forum.
That's why I'm even happier that they're back.
Hopefully they will remain with us. I always look forward to your builds. These are always interesting for me since I also build from scratch.
Just to note: if you scroll down a gallery you will find the complete gallery contribution to the Morris "Battle in France"

Opening the hatches and the front is also modified.
Well done, Sir.

I still have this veteran in my collection but you have really made it come to life.

Fabulous work indeed.

Best wishes,
