Opinions on Academy 1/35 PzKpfw IV, Ausf H kit?
Posted by gnsnow on Monday, January 20, 2003 1:12 AM
Has anyone built this, seen it or read a review on it? If it's a concern I'm also considering a photoetch kit (for the old Tamiya Ausf H) and resin tracks.

This is a fun old kit. It has the motorization holes and poly cap wheels. I used it as a test basis for trying to custom build the armor skirt around the turret. I also used the pin technique for the tracks to sag. It worked nice and i used it on other kits since then. Also consider tamiya panzer 4 on vechical equipment set. This has some nice replacement tools, headlights for the kit. I'm in the process of upgrading a tamiya panzer 4 auft D and i'm giving it the full photo, metal tracks, and kitchen sink treatment. These two kits are from the same circa so share a lot of the same problems. My advice is to use this kit to practice your painting and building techniques. Save the nice parts for a new tamiya panzer 4. Happy Bill
