Surely they would only have been placed there for the march ?
Even a casually aimed .50BMG round would see flaming petrol running into every arpeture otherwise
Looks like its going to be an action packed build
Hi Herman I assumed they were water cans as mentioned by Painless Wolf? I am actually having a lot of fun with butchering this poor little
panzer

Panzer 4 build, there are are never enough, scrolling through the builds on the HENG LONG build site will point out the things that need your attention, which is why I shall keep my peace and enjoy your efforts.

PS You do know that exacto also sell "KEYHOLE" saw blades don't you? Make a small hole with a pin vise then using the keyhole blade, open up the aperture you are trying for.
Hi Jarndice, If you spot something Iv'e done wrong, do let me know

I have a few of those xacto saws but don't get on with them for some reason.

Great start! I will be following along. Mr. Bix, All of the cans in the front row are water containers. Still must be a march photo as you noted since the ones in the second row look like gasoline cans. None of that lot would stop a .50 cal round from the M2.

Painless
Hi PainlessWolf, thanks for that, I thought the cans might be water, wouldn't make a lot of sense for petrol to be on the roof, for the reasons Herman mentioned.
jarndice wrote:Herman Hi, I was wondering if this PZ4 was being used in the same role as your "schlepper" to take fuel up the line to those extremely thirsty Tigers but unlike the "schlepper" it can, once it has taken it's load to where it was needed take it's place at the sharp end, just a thought, but if it's going there anyway it has a better chance of success than an Opel Blitz soft skin.

Hi Jarndice, I wondered this, but having had a look online can find almost no info about this particular tank, as I say can only find one picture
Thanks guys will hopefully get some more done soon.
