1/48 Tamiya Schwimmwagen

 I spent March completing a variety of softskin vehicles for 28mm gaming - first up is Tamiya's excellent 1/48 scale Schwimmwagen. With the exception of my addition of the MG34 and bilge holes on the lower chassis, this build is basically standard. If I had one gripe, it's that the fine parts are much much too fragile and, despite my best efforts and light touch, I had to re-glue the paddle, guardrail, and steering wheel after they broke upon removing them from the sprue.

This is painted in Tamiya, Vallejo, and AK acrylics, then panel lined and filtered with oil paints, and finally weathered with AK enamels.
