trumpeter 1/16 panzer iv

[Guest]

my wife bought me this kit about 1 month ago , finally got the nerve up to start it , not too sure if I know what I'm getting myself into here LOL , there are just too many sprue's to show them all , took photo's of the manual , [56 page's] got the engine generator and gear-box together . the next step of weathering them and gluing the tank base together , look's a big step , might be a while before I post again . I also started the tread's . all 600 piece's .

That's a very big box Steve! There's so much scope for super detailing one of these 1/16 scale kits. I myself am thinking of using real wood for the handles of the pioneer tools on my Tiger B.

Paul (tr1ckey66) did the same on his 1/16 Tiger I. In fact, his build thread might offer inspiration, but due to the many changes in forum software, they seem to have vanished!

Build something at this size is a real experience! Time ago I built a PII at 1/6!! I will remember it forever

[Guest]

1/6 , . where did you put it , got some painting and weathering done

[Guest]

Cool!!
Nice work on those interiors

[grumpa]

A real monster of a kit Steve, love the internal detail

[Thorbrand]

I reckon when it's done you may be abe to fit a small cat in the turret, then you just need to put a little tank commander hat on it!

[Guest]

quick update , got the wheels finished . [ all 96 parts ] the other photo , just shows that the bogies actually work

[Guest]

That is one serious kit. It's looking good, I love the amount of detail. I'm just getting into modelling, proper like, and can't wait to tackle a real chunky kit. Can't wait to see how you get on.
