Flammenwerfers

Today we are looking at a bunch of things that werf flammen aka German Flamethrowers.

In particular, the Sd Kfz 251/16 half-track. I've painted 6 of these up for my Germans.

The kits are Battlefront, and generally go together ok, however the Metal Flamethrowers are part of the figures, have nowhere to mount, so are a bit uneven and can't be painted with the vehicle, which resulted in a bit of a mismatch.

Nevertheless 6 more models done this year!

Stummel Wagons

This week's update is 6 Sd Kfz 251/9 or "Stummel"  (stump) after the short 75mm cannon they carried.

They work quite well in Flames of War due to their economical points cost, so I'm looking forward to getting them on the table.

Models are all Battlefront, in this case the earlier plastic version (Ausf C)
