I'm part way through building the MiG Ammo release with the Breda gun - really enjoying it as something different - but there are a lot of ejector pin marks to sort. No biggie, but was a little surprised with that... Iain Thank you, Iain. I forgot all about the ejector pins once I realized how long the weathering was taking. It's quite a large kit with large fields to weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question for you if you know: When did the Germans start/stop using the yellow ochre crosses on their early war vehicles? Some of the early war photos have what is identified as the yellow ochre iron cross. I am not familiar with a lot of the early war markings and such so I was curious. Thank you! I don't know the exact date that they started putting yellow ochre over the white crosses. But I do know that during the western campaigns in 1940, the hollow cross was in use. This Armored car photo is captioned April 9, 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The face is a nice face for painting. Some collar tab, Panzer Beret, and should board decals would have made for a better finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the early war photos have what is identified as the yellow ochre iron cross. I am not familiar with a lot of the early war markings and such so I was curious. The yellow ochre crosses started during the Polish campaign as the white made it too easy to spot and use as a aiming point for anti-tank gunners on these early thinly armored tanks. They were only sporadically seen in France, as better armored tanks took over. Don’t recall seeing any pics of them in Africa or Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
