Sighting the Enemy: Sd.Kfz 234/2 Puma 1/35 Model
1/35 Scale Sd.Kfz 234/2 Puma Painting & Weathering Tutorial - Model Building, Military Vehicle, Wargaming, Diorama, Tank, German Armor, WWII, Scale Model Kit, AFV, Weathering Effects, Panzer
The 'Puma' Sd.Kfz.234/2 was undoubtedly the best armoured car of WW2; well protected for its role as a recon vehicle, highly mobile and heavily armed, but its late introduction into service when the tides of war had swung against Germany, and the modest production totals of all variants ensured that this magnificent fighting vehicle never really fulfilled its conceptual promise.
Fitted with the superb 50 mm L/60 cannon, it was hard to stop a crew engaging in combat, rather than scouting.
The vehicle had 2 driving positions, one front and one rear facing, as it had the same speed and manoeuvrability in reverse as it did forward.
Fitted with 8 independently powered and steered wheels it sported 'bulletproof tyres' and a 1st for smoke dischargers
An very advance design that was years ahead of its time it was studied by the allies after the war and many of its features were adopted in their future designs.

Thanks Colin, glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing work my friend,the camo is so neat,and that H&S does an amazing job,I see why you recommend it to me,and the weathering looks great,a fine finish in my opinion.Thanks for the video!
AWESOME!!! Seeing your Puma come together has given me inspiration to buy & build- not just buy!- the new MiniArt Puma. I want to make good on the Dragon Puma that I buggered up last year. Once again, great model!! Love it

Fantastic result with the Puma! I have enjoyed this build, as I have one in my stash that I will start soon, and this will be very helpful. I don’t know if I can emulate your work on the camo, so I might settle for something easier as my airbrush skills need improving a little. Look forward to your next project.

Thanks Gary. Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the build
I can't ever paint such small lines and connect them, I always miss and paint a different area than what I wanted

Well done. I made this kit also and I enjoyed the build. There is more very good Pumas on the market now (RMF, MiniArt), but Dragon is a Dragon. BTW. what colour do you use for wooden handles of the tools? I like the tone, looks realistic.

Thanks, I like to use AK's Light Earth for tools that would have Hickory or Ash handles. A bit of Burnt Sienna wash over the Light Earth will add a bit of age and variation to the final look. Green Ochre is another tone i use which is more Oak looking
Looks cool. 👍

I think these may be Panzer Art. I purchased a whole tub of resin figures from someone locally who was getting rid of. No boxes but I'm sure I saw them with different heads on the Panzer Art website. My commander had no head so I just grabbed something suitable out of the tub and mad it fit.

Thanks for your comment I did actually drybrush the camo net, but didnt show it in the video except at the opening sequence at the very start. and visible in the closing shots of the completed model. I could have gone a bit lighter but felt it was standing out quite nicely at the end.
Great work. Would like to know which kits were used...

I still have no clue how people can paint such small lines with a airbrush and connect the lines. How many years of practice does that take?

Thanks Greg. Believe it or not, this is the 1st time I've attempted this pattern. Its not perfect by any means. But seeing the needle tip and trusting that the airbrush will deliver the expected flow of paint is really key I guess because there is no room for error like there is for larger block patterns.
