Panzerkampfwagen IV fans, help is needed!
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, March 27, 2004 8:15 PM
Hey everyone, just bought some crud in a box at my LHS. Oh, I mean Academy's Pzkpwn 4 Ausf. H/J. The kit looks ok, but um, well theres NO PAINTING GUIDE!!!!!!! The instructions is just a piece of paper folded a couple times with some drawings on it. The actuall plastic looks good though, but the bare essentials aren't there. Anyway the reason for this post is to ask for Pzkpwn 4 Ausf. H references online. There is no painting guide and one decal option for just one tank (8,500 were made, I figure they should at least have 3 different tanks to model!Angry [:(!]). I want to make a Pz. 4 I know about, so is there any good online sites I can go to for Pz. 4 references? Thanks everyone. (This is my first light German WW2 tank, so I'll take a gamble and post some pics when I'm done!)

I have an encyclopedic collection of Panzer IV images, I'll post some this weekend and link you to them on Monday.

Be interested to see how you go Armourmaster, as that kit is quite cheap here in Australia, so could be ripe for a conversion etc.

Good luck,

Matt

Hmmm, I always though most Panzers were wither German gray or dark yellow for the deserts of Africa. I'll be interested to see the pics offered by gnsow.

I just went online for the first time all weekend and oops! Sorry, I haven't gotten around to the pics. Probably in the next couple of days. I ended up installing a sprinkler system in by back yard this weekend so right now I feel rather worn.
