DAK panzer IV F2

[spongehoobtank82]

Cheers rayzzer, might leave it for more and finish my other tanks first, it's starting to sound abit daunting to do the recoil mod to be fair!, will let you all know how it goes when I do it!

Hi sponge.. hope you dont get put off like the old saying goes nothing ventured nothing gained.. what i do is take photos an make notes then you got reference , it may seem a hard job but it do come together .you only have to worry about 4 wires three for the gun recoil an elevation ,, the thick wire goes to ground ,, neutral i connect it to the power, on- off switch hope you take the plunge the electronics in heng long is not too difficult just practice mostly trial an error Ray.

I love the choice of colour, in the shade it becomes quite different from when it is in the light, very clever, as to the tracks I must warn you that probably means idler adjusters, and going down the road to upgrades is the road to both lunacy and bankruptcy, not to mention the divorce court, shaun

Hey guys quick update, metal tracks on, seems to run fine, will see how I get on as the tracks stretch over time may need idler adjuster in future, we will see. Here's a few pictures, nice bit of sag

Sponge,
Now that is a Pz IV to be proud of. ;o) I'm loving the tracks, the paint, the battle damage, everything. It really came together nicely.
regards,
Painless

Thanks painless, just need to get some Birchwood Casey gun bluing on the tracks and get them worn in and I will be happy

Hi,
Great looking PZ IV there paint work tops!! well done. Brian...

Cheers Brian, lets hope the next one comes together as well!

Very good looker you have there. Why not just buy another with the ir and recoil already installed.

[spongehoobtank82]

Hey greengiant! I probably will when I have done spare dosh, want to do a king tiger next but as panzer iv F1's are so cheap I might do a DAK one of those. Anyway added some spare track links to the hull and blackened them with gun bluing solution and the main tracks, will make some brackets soon to hide the pins i used to mount the spare tracks

Hi" sponge" looking good nice touches. If you go for the dak it's a smaller job but still a good tank.. What about a stug""" Ray..
