Sd.Kfz. 222 - 5th Light Division

Album info
he model should represent a vehicle from the start of Rommel's actions, early 1941, when these vehicles were still in their original RAL7021. The vehicle belonged to the 3rd Recon Battalion, 21st Panzer Division (at this time 5th Light Division). It should be a mid-production version (series 3 or 4). I did a few minor modifications to the kit because the Tamiya kit represents a later series 5 vehicle and added a few AM parts: metal barrels, tool clamps, and stowage. Also, replaced the decals with Archer's version, because I don't like how Tamiya's thick decals look on the dark background.
The kit is super simple and builds like a charm. Typical Tamiya kit. Details are meh, especially the barrel, which is metal, but almost no details at all. Also, some things are oversimplified, like the antenna base, jack, no tail light at all, etc. I plundered a few other kits for spare parts. Also, added some generic Aber PE parts, like tool clamps.
The model is painted with MRP RAL7021 and weathered with MIG pigments.
