This is my first completed 1/48 model in over twenty years! It's the Gaso.Line conversion for the Tamiya Panzer IV ausf J kit. I modified both quite a bit. Click on the pictures to see more detail.

Here's what I started with:

Looking good Roy, great job on adding all that strip styrene in quarter scale! I'm sure it will be a build that is represent of your usual outstanding quality level. Amazing detail in 1/48th is what separates the men from the boys i guess. I'm currently debating on getting a 1/48th kit, I just haven't got the 1/35th stash pile wittled down enough....

Keep us posted on the progress my friend,

regards,

Steve

Lookin' real nice, 1/48 an' all! Lookin' forward to the paint, too!

Please tell me though, why did you choose 1/48 over 1/35?! Big Smile [:D]

Thanks for the kind remarks, folks. The two kits (Gaso.Line and Tamiya Pz IVJ) were sent to me as a review sample from www.wingsntreads.com

I hadn't planned on getting into 1/48 prior to this. I like it as modifications don't require huge outlays of effort.

I cut my teeth superdetailing 1/72 aircraft so 1/48 and 1/35 are huge templates for me.

Really great job on the 1/48 scale. My eyes and fat fingers hurt just thinking about the detailing. Clown [:o)]

Very nice conversion. I'm more impressed by the 1/48 builds all the time.

Thnx folks. Like I said, it's my first 1/48 kit in many years. my first ever armor 1/48 scale.

Lots of fun to do. Can't get so involved (am up to my eyes with my Renault Char B1 right now)
