PANZERBEFEHLSWAGEN PZ.BFWG 38 (T) AUSF B
This small Czech AFV which eventually became rather useful for the German Army,
was one of the great stars of the Blitzkrieg. We are showing a seldom seen version;
the command version identifiable by its large radio antenna found on the rear of the
vehicle. This is an excellent Tristar kit with an excellent contrast work between
the dirt and the dry mud and its dark Panzer Gray livery.

RENAULT FT17
One of the consequences of the Blitzkrieg was the capture of a considerable amount of enemy
war material. Abilio gives us an example of this with his German FT-17. This kit has a subtle
paintjob, especially with the dirt work on this vehicle.

STUG III AUSF.B
Another feature of the “lightning war” was the common use of self-propelled
artillery for infantry backup, a job that was entrusted to the specially designed
Stugs that played an important part towards the beginning of operation Barba-
rossa, when very large expanses of land were conquered in a very short time.
Carlos’ Stug with its peculiar brown spot camouflage on the roof of its casemate is
a perfect example. This kit also features outstanding dirt and dry mud work.

SD.KFZ 232
We can’t talk about the Blitzkrieg without mentioning the scout vehicles. The
work which traditionally was entrusted to Germany’s cavalry was given to these
armored vehicles on wheels that were present throughout the conflict in varied
forms. Ivan deploys a wide range of techniques on his 232 including the new
“Black and White” painting technique to recreate the vehicle’s Panzer Gray. We
will also like to mention his elaborate dirt application work.

WAITING FOR THE TOWING VEHICLE, FRANCE 1940
Not everything was gray during the Blitzkrieg. Color was provided by the French AFV’s
and their flashy schemes. Jorge shows us in a very instructive way how to use these
camouflage patterns, integrating the vehicle in a natural environment, putting the
vehicle in context and hiding it at the same time. A very interesting article of a vignette
which is full of light, color, plant life, minutiae, human elements, animals, etc. with an
impeccable presentation and some wonderful pictures.

MODELLING LESSONS: MUD
This time we’ve been doing some tests for recreating easily mud and doing mud splashes. We also show what are the market
choices and the different products available in order to create a springboard for your own work.

TRISTAR
AUSF B
1/35
This command AFV -quite common on the opening years of WWII- is just a simple variant of
the many that were made using the PzKpfW 38(t) as a base. Many variants using this AFV
were made: AFV-hunters, self-propelled howitzers, anti-aircraft retrieval vehicles… In this
case the only difference between this AFV and the base vehicle is just the FU 8 radio system
which this vehicle had instead of the frontal machine gun and the large antenna on top of the
engine compartment. Supposedly, each Panzer Division had about ten units of this type of
vehicle, and a grand total of 300 units were manufactured.
This Czech AFV is considered to be the best lightweight AFV of this opening war period,
because of its outstanding technical features. In fact this vehicle was used by other countries
such as Bulgaria, Slovakia, Hungary, Iran, Peru, Romania, Sweden and Switzerland.
