Stuff what I been painting
More guns
My previous entry here was the initial deployment of my US 1st Armoured Division. The arrival of these new tanks into my Italian forces set up has the defending Germans a little worried and they have called for some additional firepower. So, to plug the gap in the lines, I’ve painted up some PaK 40 Anti Tank guns. The punch on this should easily penetrate the thin armour of the M4A1 Shermans!
These two guns are the Battlefront plastic kit. Easy to put together and reasonably quick to paint. Colour scheme is a simple dunkelgelb with some brown and green airbrushed on to create a camo effect. Chipping is just applied quickly with a sponge and gunmetal. Crew are a standard German Field Grey with a wash. A quick and easy approach.
The bases are polyfila mixed with a brown paint (to avoid the issue of any chips leaving a stark white patch) over which I sprinkle some sand and small cork chips. I pile the polyfila up at the front to create a ‘dug in’ look. The sand bags are home made from greenstuff.
