I agree with MG and Eric.  The tamiya kit #35209 is fairly cheap, I think I got mine last week for $22. It builds into a decent model and plenty of rom to add details if you wish.  OOB its a great kit.

$22?!?!?!  Wow. that's a pretty good deal Bob!! 

Gotta agree with everyone, the Tamiya Pz IV kits are the way to go if you're looking for ease of building.

The Italeri Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. F2/G is not bad.  I build one of those a couple years ago for the Italeri GB and really enjoyed the kit.

How about the Italeri Pz IV?  Iv'e got one of those.  I think they reissued them too.  Should be easy to find.

The Tamiya Pz IV J is a great little kit. About 300 or so parts and no indie tracks. The one thing it lacks is side-schurzen. It still has nice details, but is a joy to put together.

I'm like you, I'm not a fan of overly  engineered kits. I like detail, but not over complicated builds.

Low part count, eh? I'd say look at Tamiya. Their Panzer IV kits may not be up to par with Dragon detail wise, but they still have a nice amount of detail(potential for scratching) and they don't have anywhere near the part count of some Dragons kits. Plus they can be had at relatively cheap prices if you look around.

Posted by In The Woods on Sunday, December 6, 2009 6:06 PM

...with a low(er) parts count than some of the Dragon kits.  I appreciate the fact that many modelers enjoy the detail that 1200+ parts (or 600-700 parts) offer, but I get bogged down in too much detail and never manage to finish the kit:  it's too much like work.

So I'm looking for recommendations for a Panzer IV kit which isn't quite so detailed.  I know, I know, it's dull as dishwater, but what am I to do? Big Smile [:D]

 

Thanks to all who reply.

 

With best regards,

 

Stephen.
