Nice start and a good idea to use this to try out new things. Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks all, will be posting some pics soon - finished the streaking and adding final touches. Have learned a few lessons along the way that I will share.

Album info
Tamiya version of the Sd.Kfz 251/1. Not an accurate depiction of the half track so not going to use it as a display model but am going to use it to practice various weathering techniques that I have not used before such as the use of hairspray etc
