Re: Pz IV
I did once build a Tamiya 1/35 Panzer 4,
To darn fiddly for my taste but I did discover that there are many more 1/35 scale soft cover handbooks than there are 1/16,
"Osprey" have a complete range in 1/35 which obviously are just as useful to me in 1/16,
I recommend them if you need help with detailing and weathering your 1/16 Tank.

Re: Pz IV
Very convincing work. The paint is really nicely done and weathering and wear are realistic
Tanks alot....

Re: Pz IV
A very nice conversion and all it needs now is for the rear rollers to be dropped 3 to 5 mm and a reflector to be fitted halfway up the left rear fender and you impressed me with the boresight in front of the cupola which is so often forgotten
Did you get the front mantlet applique armour upgrade from WOZ via shapeways?
I shaved off the faux bolt heads on mine and tapped threads for the M2 bolts that I then fitted so I could if I wanted unbolt the plate in the future.
I was thinking as I scrolled through the pictures that is wrong the Ausf F2 did not have turret schurtzen but you very cleverly got round that with it being a workshop update
Overall most impressive.

Re: Pz IV
I agree with Jarndice: Rad Schuhart's masks are much better than most decals. Your excellent Pzkw. IV is well worth using Rad's stencils for painting the markings.
Ich stimme mit Jarndice zu: die Schablonen Rad Schuharts sind so viel besser als Decals. Eure Pzkw. IV so gut ist, daß er Rads Schablonen würdig ist.
