It seems it had a brief production run and was not introduced as a service weapon with the German Army, but saw limited use with SS and police units. Also exported to Romania. In light of these facts, it seems a rather unlikely sidearm for the Airfix recon chappy with his rather early war Heer appearance.<br /><br />Cheers, DaveDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707036473168150957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133661363979591460.post-57470405999845960032012-09-18T13:47:42.317-07:002012-09-18T13:47:42.317-07:00It's been so long I was almost nervous picking...It's been so long I was almost nervous picking up the brush in case I'd forgotten how to do it!Alan Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373566207194936501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133661363979591460.post-29227881441056719362012-09-18T13:46:58.493-07:002012-09-18T13:46:58.493-07:00Well, I suppose if it at least looks like one of t...Well, I suppose if it at least looks like one of the two camos I'll consider it a success of sorts!<br /><br />The lighting isn't helping with the guns but you are quite right, they are too bright. I use GW Boltgun Metal over a black basecoat, then a black wash. I will try to tone it down with some more washes of black and a bit of brown (for that 'oiled' look), but I'll keep a look out for the Metal Cote as well.

Good job done!
I think the Marsh Patter...Hey there! Good job done!<br />I think the Marsh Pattern is one of the most problematic camos, cause it easyly looks like an attempt to recreate the splinter pattern. Don't know how to help with that, sorry...<br />I like the colors you have picked for the uniforms and helmets! One thing that seems odd, but it might just be the lighting, is the silverish look of the guns. The drybrush seems to be too hard there.<br />I can suggest Humbrol Metal Cote "GunMetal". Just paint it on, wait a few seconds and then "polish" it with a Q-Tip!<br />Regards, MojoMojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733432151054404790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133661363979591460.post-15870792853233450742012-09-17T19:46:01.615-07:002012-09-17T19:46:01.615-07:00Nice job on all of these.

BTW it appears that Airfix figure is actually holding an MP41 (hence the stock), something I had NEVER noticed about that figure !!!<br /><br />Cheers, DaveDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707036473168150957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133661363979591460.post-39596039299809057832012-09-17T18:40:30.993-07:002012-09-17T18:40:30.993-07:00Amazing post once again.
