Default Another Panzer IV

Had a slow spell at work and decided to build the PZ4 for the upcoming September battle days.

Great looking tank Rustytrax's, that paint job is outstanding. Like the contrast of the factory fresh roadwheels. Tamiya or HL? Great job...

Thanks for the compliments. It is a Tamiya. I had it looking pretty nice then I went and applied the Tamiya smoke without knowing what I was doing. Turns out that stuff builds up fast and is glossy. You really need to thin it to 30% and add flat base. Anyway I did my best to save it with some dull coat, frosted glass and weathering pigments.

Not as cool as yours though. I was going to do some schurzen but figured its a battle tank those wont last long. It does have bearings, motors, leaf springs and metal return rollers. Waiting on the tracks.

It looks good Troy. I'd rather battle alongside you with it than battle against you.
