Pz IV madness!!

Well, I couldn't wait...I had nothing on the workbench (a terrible condition) and had really been planning on building a Pz IV anyway, so I've jumped the gun a bit and started.

I'm building the Dragon PzKpfw IV Ausf G "Kursk" kit #9020. I'm building this one OOTB. The kit is very nicely packaged and looks like it will make an extremely nice model as-is.

Looking forward to your build Robert and you answered my question about Dragon's kit. Good luck with the 200+ tracks. LOL

i just finished a panzer IV F-1 and i am sorry i saw this thread too late. the kit was by dragon and had the inidividual tracks but it went together exceptionally well. the kit did have the short barrel but it give you the option to use the long barrel as those parts are included. it was my first "real" model build as the others i did were when i was a kid (not painted, weathered, etc.) needless to say i think it turned out really awesome. i only have to put some rust on the muffler and some pastel ash around the cannon. i will post pics if you guys dont mind me being a late edition. i am honored to be in the company of such excellent modelers.

Looks like the same stuff in scale. Having not seen a real close detail pic of the mesh skirts I'm not too sure about accuracy on it. I did see one that used the metal or nylon screen (like for your back porch or windows) in a contest and it looked pretty good. The metal screen was stiff enough that it was able to be worked and "weathered" and not droop over time. Mike

Mike:
i'll b glad 2 teach frosty-eze 2 anyone that wishes...
Lesson # 1: when in doubt, say it out loud.

Anybody ever read Isaac Asimov's "Foundation Trilogy" where he talks about 'New Speak'?? I think Frosty's well on her way!!

lol

Nice to see you posting Frosty. But be careful with the Frosty-eze for us old guys!! lol

QUOTE: Originally posted by edog [Petbat, I just compared my TigerModel gun with several references, and if anything, the barrel appears to be a little too long. Are you sure your co-club member is not confused, or is the kit barrel faulty?

Apologies Edog. I just checked with Craig; He is doing the F2 conversion not the F1 Better check my facts first next time . He was very happy with the rest of the Tigermodel parts though.

Well gee look what I found while on vacation
