Things that make you boom?

They're so stupid. Nearly 20 years ago, at the Tank Museum at Bovington I wanted to stick my head in the barrel of a Sturmtiger that they have there. It's that big that it'd fit my sizeable melon. But I've wanted these in a Flames army for ages so here we go: 

 

So first off, this is not the most fun kit in the world. I love the fact that the two hulls are unique with some little details like missing tools, open hatches and similar. I elected not to build the one reloading as that seemed more for a diorama than for tabletop use.  

This was also another random camo scheme - I've been finding that if I just google patterns, I find something I want to paint. As much as I've refused on some of my LW German armour, I am enjoying painting a few interesting camo schemes that'll drop in amongst an army that will mostly be dunkelgelb. I went pretty light on the foliage as it didn't make much sense on a beast like this! 

Early War Begins...

I can't imagine ever using these in Late War but if there's anything more iconic than the Stuka in Early War, I'm not sure what it is. So I bought and painted some! I spent a bunch of time finding an interesting camo and marking scheme which hasn't shown up super well in the photo because dark green base coat with a darker green geometric pattern doesn't... 

I've got a few more things on the plate and then the Panzer Is and Panzer IIs are coming out of the box to start on the mad effort that will be completely repainting my EW Germans. 

There are a few who might note the tail insignia are wrong and what should be on there is not what's on there. I reserve the right to not put that noise on anything, historical correctness be damned. There's no reason to put that into the world. So I've put some spare Balkenkreuz on the tailplane instead to keep a marking on the tail.  

Next Time

Practice games with my new Knights I suspect. I've got some part-finished Waffentrager on my desk but I haven't decided what kind of camo to do on them. The same ambush
