I was intending to do a parade (hurrah!) once I thought I had "completed" this Blitzkrieg project, but at least one person requested a progress report, so I thought "why not?" And here it is.
The colour above is weird because I used the 0.5 size on the camera....
Not too many words as all these have been featured on the blog previously. The grand count is - so far - 1 x PzKfw III, 3 x PzKfw 38t, 2 x SdKfz 251 Ausf C, 3 x HMG, 1 x 81mm mortar, 2 x 50mm mortar, 9 x LMG MG34 teams, 12 x infantry bases, 9 x NCO/Officer bases, 1 Senior Command base, 1 x sniper, 1 x motorcyclist and 2 Propaganda Kompanie.
Almost completed are another ten infantry, an SdKfz 251 C and the other three 3D motorcycles.
In hand but not started on yet are 2 x PzKfw III, a Flak 37 88mm gun, a Pak 36 37mm AT Gun, a 3D printed SdKfz 221 and a 3D printed Opel Blitz truck, whilst en route from the UK are another 6 (I think) motorcycle models.
Is that enough.... could be.... although I have a hankering for an SdKfz 222 (I actually thought that was what I was buying when I got the 221 - slight inattention there....). And then, as several readers have pointed out, I might "need" dismounted motorcycle troops......
Anyway, that's it at present and the end of tonight's post.
Excellent. You will need that 88 when the Matildas come to visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg...and ain't that the truth...the little Pak 36 won't cut it, that's for sure! Maybe I need another 88.....?!!
DeleteYou have amassed a nice force, Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon...it's coming along nicely!
DeleteThey do look the business, and I'm sure that once they're "complete" some other additions might be in order...
ReplyDeleteThanks Ed....it's an iconic looking uniform and the "little" tanks look very nice
DeleteVery nice- a tidy force- just need a "Stuka" to round out the attacking capability!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks John! Not sure I will get into the Luftwaffe and luckily, old mate Rick has a Ju87 in his SCW collection, if we need it!
DeleteWhat a great partail parade as it were Keith. Seeing them altogether is lovely and shows us how far this project has come. A Hs-126 or Stuka would be nice of course...
ReplyDeleteCheers Steve...I refer my honourable friend to my previous answer re airpower!
DeleteWW2 forces, like napoleonics, always need 'just one more thing....'
ReplyDeleteDave, you are a very wise man!
DeleteA great collection coming together well Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence, I just need to know when to stop! I reckon three storage boxes should do it....
DeleteYour project is coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Peter
DeleteThat's a great looking force you've put together Keith. Looking forward to seeing future additions
ReplyDeleteCheers Scotty...you can take credit for the show and tell post!
DeleteSuch an impressive collection, congrats!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil - and I am still "collecting" LOL!
DeleteLovely collection!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal
DeleteComing together nicely, I won't use need again!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain....you never know, there might be more I still need!
DeleteVery impressive army, Keith!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean.
DeleteQuite the force Keith, they look great.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Stu
Cheers Stu...hopefully I can get them into action soon...
DeleteGreat force Keith. No Panzer I's or II's? 😁
ReplyDeleteNot so far Ben...I prefer the 38t!
Deletedon't fret about too many parade shots , keep channelling your inner Zukhov
ReplyDeleteSage advice there, Gunny!
DeleteOoo! The parade 😁
ReplyDeleteLast a fine looking collection… Of course you will need more 😂
All the best. Aly
Well according to Ben above, I need Pz I and II's!
DeleteAs well as the mentioned dismounted Cycle troops, I also think an 8-RAD armoured car would look great with this force (And a couple more trucks? Far more of them used in the early war than later.). Very iconic for 1939-41.
ReplyDeleteA splendid parade mate!
Oh stop it Dai, I am trying to finish this off, not keep expanding it! You are right about the 8 wheeled armored cars though....dammit!
