Tony's Revell Panzer IV Ausf. H

[TonyBv9]

I've had this for a while, waiting for an excuse to have a go with it.


Nice, crisp moulding - good thing too as there are lots of tiny parts. I think I'll do a winter camo scheme - mostly because it's easier than the mottle!

If I win the Ebay auction, I might be doing this one as well Tony!

Coming along nicely. The good thing about these armour builds is you get it to look like a tank quite quickly, whereas with a plane there's a lot to do before you get the fuselage together and the wings on. Everything is primed, including many tiny, fiddly bits that I prefer to do on the sprue.View attachment 103609

That's looking very good Tony. Agree with the comments regarding how quickly the come together initially. It's motivating to see a tank take shape.

have to agree with Joe,looking good so far,


and im with you for doing some bits on the sprue,and popping on ,later


to fiddly to paint on the model,

 

[TonyBv9]

Thanks. It's a really nice little kit so far. I'll definitely do some more.

I made some more progress, including the mind-numbing Revell track links. They're on now, after a lot of fiddling. Gator's Grip is great for this, as it doesn't set immediately and you can undo any slight cock-ups before it's too late. The hull is not yet glued to the chassis, there's a bit more painting to be done first.


The only issue for me is whether or not to add the Schurzen. I know I should, as they would have been fitted, but I like the look of the naked Panzer IV. What do you think?View attachment 104335

looking good Tony and any progress is good,

I prefer the look of it with the schurzen tony. If you decide against using them, do still add the rails for authenticity.
