This build will be a Sd.Kfz.251/1 Ausf. C (the "standard" one without guns, mortars or assault bridges
) built from the Orange Box 9135 Dragon release because I haven't built a couple of 251 Ausf. C recently 
towing a leFH 18/40 (a modification of the leFH 18 and leFH 18m using the Pak 40 carriage with bigger wheels), AFVClub number 35089 and crewed by Master Box MB35137 sitting figures in M1940 uniforms, which, together with the 251 and the leFH 18/40, places this projected diorama firmly in a 1942 environment, I think artillery attached to armoured or motorized divisions during Case Blue would be appropriate.Current basic resources ("everything else" is bound to pop up from my stash when needed, I just don't know yet just what it's going to be
) =>
And since I can't just post kits in boxes (now wouldn't that be horrible
!?) I started the leFH 18/40.It reminds me a lot of the last AFV Club artillery kit I did, a FlaK 18: really, really, really, tiny parts but with glorious fit and magnificent detail - all artillery kits should be like this
.The kit also comes with a turned barrel and turned recuperator
. 
And since it all went together without a hitch, two hours later I'm already done with the barrel, shield and optics.. essentially everything above the carriage
.
Best regards
