    Sd. Kfz. 161/2 Pz. Kpfw. IV Ausf. H Italeri 1/35

    Hello All! Haven't been here for while. But always missing you :1newwink:.

    Project started few weeks ago. Some problems as it's only Italeri but i hope I've fixed it.

    Have a look. Opinions and comments are welcome.

    Beginning

    [ATTACH]56564.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56565.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56566.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56567.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56568.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56569.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56570.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56571.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56572.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56573.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56574.vB[/ATTACH]

    Above last 4 pictures showing my probes to fix zimmerit coat- green stuff on the front and putty filler on the back. In future I recommend green stuff.

    The next step is SHURZEN -site skirts. Original ones are to thick in my opinion. To upgrade this part of action I've decided to make them of 0,3mm brass sheet.

    [ATTACH]56575.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56576.vB[/ATTACH]

    This is difference between original and made by me. [ATTACH]56577.vB[/ATTACH]

    [ATTACH]56578.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56579.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56580.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56581.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56582.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56583.vB[/ATTACH]

    Painting action and very hard choice of basic colour+ camouflage.

    This is Panzer IV type H of 12 Armoured Division of Wehrmacht. Photograph taken at summer 1944 in Russia. Everything (including painting schemes from Italeri) there are two colours panzer grey and dark yellow. I'm not sure which one is a basic coat and which one is for camouflage...

    [ATTACH]56584.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]56585.vB[/ATTACH]

    To make life harder and full of ambushes I've found this. Opposite to previous version this one says clearly: dark yellow as a basic coat and olive green for camo patterns.

    [ATTACH]56586.vB[/ATTACH]

    That's all for now. Tell me my dear Friends. What scheme could be most right? Is it possible? Could all options existed? I'll be great if anybody share his opinion. Many thanks.

    To be continued...

      Great start. Love those skirts, look unreal!

      If it comes to colour scheme.. This might help:

      If you want whole ebook about Panzer IV, just let me know.

      [edit] Those above are mainly colour schemes only for ausf H based on real ones.

                              aaron this barrel was a part of the Italeri kit. Believe me nothing extravagance. The muzzle brake need attention. Lot of gap filler has been applied into joins. Regards.

                                  I know that the Panther and Tiger are the so called 'sexy' German tanks but I think the IV is one of the best looking German tanks of WWII. You are making a cracking job of this Bart, very nicely done.

                                  Interesting point about using Green Stuff for the Zim. I was reading somewhere online where a modeller wanted to use resin zim but there was none available for the kit. Using Green Stuff, he rolled it out very thin on some silicon paper and used a zim tool to pattern it. He then let it set and cut it into the shapes needed to fit on the kit as you would resin. He reported that it actually worked better than resin as, although very thin, it remained more flexible than resin. Not got round to trying this method yet but it certainly sound an interesting way of doing it as there is no risk of bodging the kit.

                                      OK! Fellers. Another step is- paint. Believe me or not. It was hardest painting job I've done in my life. That's most painted tank in the World. Three times. Just look.

                                      First attempt - basic preparation plus basic color.

                                      [ATTACH]58724.vB[/ATTACH]This is target.

                                      [ATTACH]58720.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]58721.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]58722.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]58723.vB[/ATTACH]

                                      First camouflage- failed.

                                      [ATTACH]58725.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]58726.vB[/ATTACH]

                                      Another probe much worse than previous.

                                      [ATTACH]58727.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]58728.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]58729.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]58730.vB[/ATTACH]

                                      Ufffff. Finaly this one should match to the original picture from 1944... I hope you like it.
