Base colours
For the base colour I used army painter desert yellow modulated with ak dunkelgelb (variant) via airbrush.
Except the Marder and recon vehicles camouflage got painted on by hand.
The tricky part was the the wash. My oilwash method do net wofk anymore so I tried agrax earthshade with contrast medium (half of the contrast was actually homemade)
This was applied over the whole vehicle on side at a time with dry time in between. The excess wash was removed with a brush will still wet.
The result is quiet nice and works as a filter too.
French vehicles in german hands
The box content is build. The 21. Panzerdivision used french vehicles as a base for the open topped tank hunters, self Propeller artillery and half tracks.
The box contains 6 lorraine schlepper artillery vehicles but that is a bit much so I converted 3 of them to Marder I and will use them as 7.5cm Hotchkiss for my tank hunter formation
