P26 Peashooter

by Jack Hollander

This is an old Hobbycraft 1/48 scale P26 Peashooter.

Takom Wiesel

David Clarke put together this Takom 1/16 Wiesel A1 TOW.

The base color was Floquil Southern RR Green with Vallejo Black and Brown as the camo colors.

Weathering was done with a combination of AKI weathering pencils, Monroe Weathering Wash on the under carriage, and liberally applied Monroe Weathering pigments.
