Lovely choice Jim. I like the Panzer IV very much as although not as famous as the tiger it had a versatility all of its own. More mass produced then the Tiger and also it's chassis could be adapted to house a variety of weapons.

I'll be watching this one

Kind regards

Robert

Looking good Jim (I know practically nothing about armour but I think you should be weathering the bit behind the wheels and cogs before adding them )( I weather all parts and sub assemblies before attaching them then again after to blend them in) I think you will find it very hard after you've added them jim

Looking good James nice clean build so far, just an observation if you don't mind, if you are going to paint and weather it It would be much easier doing the lower hull at this stage, it just makes the whole process much easier than trying to weather it with the tracks attached.

[Robert1968]

Looking great and really like the clean build. I agree with the other guys with regard to the weathering.

Kind regards

Robert

Nice!

Personally, I haven't built a 1/35 tank since my late teens / early twenties, seeing all this heavy metal on the late has raised an itch.ops:
