There's a little story about this kit. About two weeks ago, we had a farmer driving around the neighborhood selling peaches. I forgot to hit the ATM so had no cash. Ian gave me 500 yen to get six peaches. I asked him if he wanted me to pay him back in cash, or armor support for his SS division. He asked for a tank. I got him this armor car instead.
This viehicle we have painted up as a 1st SS Panzer LSSAH as their recce battalion. The Sd.Kfz.234/3 had a 75mm gun. By July, 1944 these would have been in Normandy to take on the British and Canadians. The painted of the viechel was a combined effort. I did the base coat, while Ian painted the camoflauge as how he wanted. I then added the decals. Not bad for a 9 year old and a 41 year old who hasn't done decals in 11 years. Ian and I also built this together.
