Testors / Italeri SdKfz 234 / 3

This is the old yellow box kit. As with all of these old Italeri kits, they fit well and the instructions are marginal.

Though this is open top, there was very little interior detail. What was provided doesn't appear to be accurate. Since this wasn't intended as a long term scratch building project, I added a little detail and personal stowage items.

Though the kit provides two generic stowage boxes inside, these were really open shell racks. There were also 2 folding wooden platforms to stand on for the gunners and loader.

I did a base coat of steel and then covered it with a white wash. Using the dabbing sponge, I chipped with Gunmetal before gloss coating several times. Then several washes and wipes. Added dabs of rust over the chipping and washed again to blend.
