Panzer iV improvements

Post by Tankie »

Like my tiger list, not exhaustive, but this is what i've done so far:

Panzer IV

1 Cut off moulded springs & fit wire wound springs on mudguards
2 Improve turret MG (drill out and fit old plastic MG)
3 Rust exhaust
4 fit scale working  headlights
5 Fit flashing main MG
6 make brass authentic track holder
7 make and fit wire turret handles
8 re position aerial
9 open up gearbox hatch cooling ducts
10 remove mantle LED & fill
11 remove moulding marks
12 Fit metal stiffener inside body
13 Make covers, run in gearbox & grease
14 fit metal drive and idler + track
15 Fit Polyfuses in line with motors
16 Paint body, fit decals & weather

Things to do:
rear light hole in mudguard?
Obtain & fit a couple of spare wheels
