The 'Puma' Sd.Kfz.234/2 was undoubtedly the best armoured car of WW2; well protected for its role as a recon vehicle, highly mobile and heavily armed, but its late introduction into service when the tides of war had swung against Germany, and the modest production totals of all variants ensured that this magnificent fighting vehicle never really fulfilled its conceptual promise.
Fitted with the superb 50 mm L/60 cannon, it was hard to stop a crew engaging in combat, rather than scouting.
The vehicle had 2 driving positions, one front and one rear facing, as it had the same speed and manoeuvrability in reverse as it did forward.
Fitted with 8 independently powered and steered wheels it sported 'bulletproof tyres' and a 1st for smoke dischargers
An very advance design that was years ahead of its time it was studied by the allies after the war and many of its features were adopted in their future designs.

Beautifully done!! 👍
Thanks
Excellent 👏
Thanks Colin, glad you enjoyed it.
AWESOME!!! Seeing your Puma come together has given me inspiration to buy & build- not just buy!- the new MiniArt Puma. I want to make good on the Dragon Puma that I buggered up last year. Once again, great model!! Love it
Nice ! You can do better 🤣 No really if you messed it up so bad, another go will make a nice addition to your collection 💕
Thank you for the support

Thanks William... Much appreciated 👍
Wonderfully painted and weathered! Well done!
Thank you, I hope the process was enjoyable to watch
Fantastic result with the Puma! I have enjoyed this build, as I have one in my stash that I will start soon, and this will be very helpful. I don’t know if I can emulate your work on the camo, so I might settle for something easier as my airbrush skills need improving a little. Look forward to your next project. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺!
Thanks Gary. Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with the build
Wow. 👏🏻🤘🏻Looks Realy Cool
Thanks, comment is much appreciated 👍
I can't ever paint such small lines and connect them, I always miss and paint a different area than what I wanted
Thanks for watching
lol
Amazing work. 👋👋👋
Thanks Dan
Looks cool. 👍
Thanks my friend 👍
Nice job,l myself would dry brush the cam net a bit with some lighter greens give it some life,
Thanks for your comment
I did actually drybrush the camo net, but didnt show it in the video except at the opening sequence at the very start. and visible in the closing shots of the completed model.
I could have gone a bit lighter but felt it was standing out quite nicely at the end.
Well done. I made this kit also and I enjoyed the build. There is more very good Pumas on the market now (RMF, MiniArt), but Dragon is a Dragon. BTW. what colour do you use for wooden handles of the tools? I like the tone, looks realistic.
Thanks, I like to use AK's Light Earth for tools that would have Hickory or Ash handles. A bit of Burnt Sienna wash over the Light Earth will add a bit of age and variation to the final look. Green Ochre is another tone i use which is more Oak looking
love the build....who's figures did you use...
Thanks for watching?
I think these may be Panzer Art. I purchased a whole tub of resin figures from someone locally who was getting rid of. No boxes but I'm sure I saw them with different heads on the Panzer Art website. My commander had no head so I just grabbed something suitable out of the tub and mad it fit.
Great work. Would like to know which kits were used...
Thanks
🤝👍
Thanks
Excellent work! May I ask you with which pressure and paint/thinner ratio you applied this camo?
I will stick at 15psi for all my airbrushing. Thinning ratio... Well how long is a piece of string. Really it depends on the paint in the pot. Even same brand will be different between colours. The olive green here is great, no spatter hardly at all. The red-brown is a sod and very hard not to get more speckle/splatter at same thinner ratio. I will thin these lacquer paints 4 or 5:1 sometimes more. I even have times when half way through a fill I see no colour and when I look in, its just half a cup of thinners sitting there because all the pigment has settled and gone out the needle. Other factors are, an airbrush with good trigger action, you need to know when paint is going to flow or suddenly you have a spiders web going on (and that a disaster). Cleaning the needle regularly as well especially with acrylics as these build up and dry faster on the tip, this will give you speckling as well, so keep a brush and small pot of thinner next to you to clean.
@@afv-studio Thanks for the detailed answer! I asked because I made exact the same expierence with both of the colours. The Olivgrün goes like a charm, but the Rot-Braun is driving me crazy. I tried different pressures and thinning ratios with this colour in my Evolution with a 0.2 needle/nozzle but no luck so far to achieve an acceptable result. Thanks for the tip with keeping the needle clean! I will try it again with 15psi and more thinner ...
@@kevin.reible There you go. Its not you after all. At least it sounds like you have a nice airbrush in the 2024 Evolution. You wont go wrong there. Its a better brush than my more costly (cult of paint) Infinity.
@@afv-studio Thank you for giving me courage. It's the "old" Silverline Evolution, just bought it right before the new was released - if I had known they will setup a new model ...
@@kevin.reible Oh Dam. You know its still a decent airbrush. you might consider matching your .2 needle with their new .28 nozzle. I believe this contributes to the performance of the new Evo. And there is a hack that will lessen some of the play in the trigger. 2 PTFE nozzel washers placed on that spindle that slots into the trigger slot. That would help tighten everything up trigger related. I use the 2 washer hack on my old infinity and it does help a bit.
Hi! what colors did you use for the chipping?
I use AK11320 with a little white added for the light chips and AK11112 for the dark chipping
@@afv-studio Thank you :D
I still have no clue how people can paint such small lines with a airbrush and connect the lines. How many years of practice does that take?
Thanks Greg. Believe it or not, this is the 1st time I've attempted this pattern. Its not perfect by any means. But seeing the needle tip and trusting that the airbrush will deliver the expected flow of paint is really key I guess because there is no room for error like there is for larger block patterns.
