I think the Halftrack would be more correct, the Scoutcar wasn't really in use much anymore by the US forces around this time, although the British forces still had them in good numbers.

Thank you all for your kind feedback guys! Today I airbrushed the Kaiserkaefer & Goliaths wit Vallejo medium olive (RAL 6003). This is the color that was introduced by the Wehrmacht in January 1945.

I did first trials with a selfmade template to create a futuristic camo design but failed. I have to restart.

OK I'm liking the camo scheme so far. Are you going for the red brown camo lines too?

It could be the pic but the Rotbraun stripes seem very faint... How about trying primer red? That was also used in late-(actual)war camo so this would be an interesting evolution of that scheme?

You made a good point guys, thanks! I painted over the dark brown stripes with "hull red".

It looks cool. I was referring to the "Hull Red" as added camo lines. But I like what you did.

Kaiserkaefer-day. Painting details (it hasn´t a lot) some acrylic color washes and a decent weathering of the KK. The feet were made muddy with pigments. I`m thinking of some more details like antennas.

Very nice weathering on the KK and the Goliaths. This is really coming along nicely.

This is wonderfully weird, I like it a lot.  You've done a great job, the paint and weathering is perfect.  I am looking forward to seeing the diorama.  Great work Lars.
