Chan combined a couple of Tamiya's newer kits...the PzIV F2 and Kublewagen to create this impressive small diorama of the Ramcke Parachute Brigade in North Africa. The vehicles were painted with Vallejo's "Afrika Korps" '42 mix which he feels looks too green. All the figures are Tamiya.

Panzer IV Ausf. F by Stew Langenbeck
Stew pulled out all the stops to create this Akrika Korps Panzer IV F1. He combined parts from Gunze Sangyo and Dragon kits as well as Griffon photo etch for Panzer IV F1, F2, and G variants. In addition, he added aftermarket sandbags, cupola, a CMK mantlet, and Archer weld seams. The figures were sourced from Dragon, Tristar, and Masterbox.
To augment the aftermarket additions, Stew did some major scratch building on the model. He added armor to the hubs and inside the drive wheels, added detail to the interior of the turret, adapted AFV Club's articulated suspension to fit, scratch built rear storage racks and trays, and the base.

Panzerjager 1 by Dave Blankenship
This is the Italeri (reboxed Alan) 1/35th scale kit in DAK markings. It was built pretty much out-of-the-box...the main additions were the installation of radio gear in the gun compartment, extra stowage, and sandbags fashioned from Apoxie Sculpt. It was painted with Tamiya and Vallejo Model Air acrylics and weathered with AK washes and filters. The sign barrel is scratch built; the base is from Monroe Perdu.
