I spent March completing a variety of softskin vehicles for 28mm gaming - second up is Warlord Games 1/56 Opel Maultier. With the exception of the extended side view mirror and taillight, this was built out of the box standard. A very basic kit overall, I decided to add several Tamiya 1/48 fuel drums and jerry cans to the truck bed to simulate a logistics vehicle for the SS Wiking Panzer Division.
This was primed using Krylon red primer and hairspray chipped with an overspray of Tamiya Yellow Green, after which I brush-painted the fanciful striped camouflage using Vallejo Air Pale Green (included in many of their airplane sets as a Zinc Chromate substitute). Further detail painting was done using Vallejo and AK acrylics, panel lining and overall filter using oil paints, and weathering done using AK enamels. As WG only supplies an oversized acetate sheet to cut the windshields from, I had to use Testors canopy maker to make some rather rough windshields.
Overall, this is a nice straightforward kit that's hampered by WG's lack of supplying clear sprues for windshields, which can be a pain for novice modelers.
