Rush for Berlin 16: Volkswagen Typ 82 (Kübelwagen)

While lots of you fellow Bloggers probably enjoy a day at Crisis in Antwerp I finished my Luftwaffenfelddivision for 'Bolt Action'. For now my last addition to the force is the Volkswagen Typ 82 or better known as Kübelwagen.







The model is from 'Warlord Games' again. The officer on the backseat is the 'SS-Obersturmführer Michael Wittmann' figure you get when purchasing the 'Wittmann Tiger'. I had to cut off his legs to make him fit into the backseat. Instead of painting him as Wittmann I decided to make him a StuG commander by painting his collarpieces and the rim on the shoulderbadges in Artillery red. The driver recieved standard Luftwaffe-yellow collarpieces. Officially these were not worn anymore after spring 1943 but some individuals still kept them.

After quite exactly seven months of painting my Felddivision is as ready as a wargaming army ever will be. In this time I managed to paint:
-2 Halftracks
-1 Opel Blitz
-1 Elefant
-1 Puma
-1 PaK 40
-1 Kübelwagen
-53 Footsloggers

On monday I'll hopefully revieve my new cam and then I'll make an armyshot.

Thanks for viewing.

      I simply brushed on Vallejo Pigmentfixer and applied the pigments (Forgeworld 'Light Earth') by simply stippling them on the areas you want to be muddy using an old brush. Maybe it's necessary to go over the pigments with a second coat of Pigmentfixer.
      I hope I could help you.

    Cracking great job! I really like what you've done with the Wittmann figure - the mod turned out very nicely.
