Work so far on the Panzer IV from Armortek.

very nice detail

Kit bumpstops are functional but look nothing like a Panzer IV bumpstop. Made up a detailed bumpstop and made a mould. Just about managed to make 10 bumpstops. Part of mould destroyed.

any more progress John ?

There has been some progress. Thanks for asking . Did'nt think anybody interested. I will post some up to date photos. Trying to work on a Tiger 1 at the same time.

I have started to apply zimmerit. Milliput.
Did some reshaping of the air intakes. Drivers visor, viewport, Relocating some parts to more correct positions.

I have made a new water filler cover to replace the block of aluminium supplied with the kit. The lid opens so I might cut through the base and deck for switch access if necessary.

A little more progress with the rear. Added the straps to the exhausts and relocated the small outlet pipe to top. Also assed the kit tow rope brackets. The tow rope is I think a bit short. [/size]





I started assembling the turret. Removed the machining marks first. Inside and out.
