Hello everyone. :wave:

Great! Someday I want a Tamiya RC AFV, and the Jagdpanzer IV would be my top choice. I will keep watching. Thanks!

All parts fit together perfectly from the outset. In my opinion, Tamiya makes the best models that give a lot of fun to build. you can feel like a child. the only downside is that these models are expensive ... :thumbup: :thumbdown:

continued ... I started gluing the Zimmerit from the set, but today I know I wouldn't use it a second time. I think Atak Model would be a better choice

"I started gluing the Zimmerit from the set, but today I know I wouldn't use it a second time. I think Atak Model would be a better choice." I am interested in why you think so, just in case I every work up the courage/cash for this model. (Hmm... My US tax refund is coming in Monday... Gulp!)

Most folk would agree with you about the most positive aspects of Tamiya models (the fit; the detail; the quality etc..) and the negative: the cost :crazy:
Lovely model, you have there. I built the Tamiya Pz IV Ausf J; but am currently smitten with the Jagdpanther I built :)
The Jagdpanzer IV would be a major love-rival, but is simply a tad too pricey, right now, to contemplate buying, :/ :D
