The new Taigen Metal Panzer IV (Pic heavy!!!)
Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2017 4:18 pm
Hey all, just got the new Panzer iv from Dominique at Rctank.de and for once, I didnt just rip the box open but took my time to take lots of pictures
Overall it seems like a great little runner. For once, the tracks have the same "adjustment" unlike the older versions, where one side was always tighter than the other with no means of adjusting it without doing mods.
The paint job is not as horrible as the pictures I have seen looked like, but the wash they finished it with, is very heavy! So heavy that the opening hatches are very hard to open and some paint flakes off when you pri them open. Also, I was scared I might brake the plastic side hatches in the process.
Along with the tank I got some goodies from Dominique, neatly packed in the same box as the tank.
I am a bit concerned though, that I wont be able to install the drive shaft supports, as it seems like the covers they usually go under, is now a molded part of the tank itself. I will find out, when I start taking it apart.
If you have any questions about this new tank, feel free to ask
And as a side note...I might be addicted to the Panzer IV!!!
