Truly, the dio is ready but I don't have time to take some pics for publishing in the Internet. So for now I would like to present the second vehicle I prepared for this dio.
This is Italeri's Jeep as a Lend-Lease car in Soviet use. The figure is from Alpine range with Dragon's MP-40.


The spoils of war were prepared especially for the atmosphere of the dio to show the real behavior of the invaders in each city they captured. I used the printed copies from the Internet, resized and framed.

Built but not painted:
 Ready:

From the stories I heard from my family members, friends and people who saw the looting I know that  the invaders took all valuable stuff they could carry. So this is the reason why  I decided to add more stuff - the curtain and pillows, blanket and even the suitcase.

Opel Blitz 1t, Breslau, 1945

Here is one of two kits I've just build for my newest diorama called "Festung Breslau".
This is the resin kit from Wespe Models with some little elements from my spare box and Zvezda Dshk machine gun. I decided to paint her in dark yellow with panzergrau and used the hairspray technique to make the worn white camo. The kit represents vehicle from 18th Horst Wessel SS division captured by Soviets.
So, here are the pictures:










And some shots from the building and painting process:

Citroën 11cv

This car goes with the Feldmarschall you can see in previous post. I used Tamiya's kit and only the decals and driver's windshield was changed. She was painted in shiny finish to make the effect of civilian car confiscated by the German invaders.

Studebaker US6 + Fuel Trailer Type A-3

I would like to describe both kits so the first is Studebaker. It's the ICM kit with new resin wheels from TWS, RB Models stowage set (I used some elements only, because unfortunately a lot of them should go straight into the trash bin), the tarpaulin was prepared by myself,  Archer interior and medical decals and Echelon mirrors. Inside the cabin are two figures from Verinden (as usual they were too big so the knife, sandpaper and Milliput were necessary). I needed to change the decals  - those from the kit were so poor that they were torn after 1 minute in the water - I used Dragon's stars and numbers.
The kit was painted with Vallejo and weathered with MIG chemicals.


















Before I started the building process of the trailer I was looking for some nice pics of this kit and the real vehicle. So it wasn't the favourite photographers' subject... I didn't find anything special.
The CMK kit is very good - the cast is clean and the resin is air bubbles free. There were no problems with preparations. I added the pipe only - this is a part of electical cable wrapped by the thin copper wire. Oh, I forgot about handles - they come from Tamiya's Tiger!
The trailer was painted and weathered in the same way as Studebaker. The decals come from different sets.
