I did once build a Tamiya 1/35 Panzer 4,
To darn fiddly for my taste but I did discover that there are many more 1/35 scale soft cover handbooks than there are 1/16,
"Osprey" have a complete range in 1/35 which obviously are just as useful to me in 1/16,
I recommend them if you need help with detailing and weathering your 1/16 Tank. :thumbup:

A very nice conversion and all it needs now is for the rear rollers to be dropped 3 to 5 mm and a reflector to be fitted halfway up the left rear fender and you impressed me with the boresight in front of the cupola which is so often forgotten :thumbup:
Did you get the front mantlet applique armour upgrade from WOZ via shapeways?
I shaved off the faux bolt heads on mine and tapped threads for the M2 bolts that I then fitted so I could if I wanted unbolt the plate in the future.
I was thinking as I scrolled through the pictures that is wrong the Ausf F2 did not have turret schurtzen but you very cleverly got round that with it being a workshop update :clap: :clap: :haha:
Overall most impressive.

Our very good friend and fellow Forum member Ralf Schuhart can make you a really good set of stencils for your PZ4 and his prices are almost free :haha: :haha:
Tell him what you want and that is what you will get,
I do not trust decals anymore now I have Ralfs top quality stencils to work with :thumbup:

I agree with Jarndice: Rad Schuhart's masks are much better than most decals. Your excellent Pzkw. IV is well worth using Rad's stencils for painting the markings.

Ich stimme mit Jarndice zu: die Schablonen Rad Schuharts sind so viel besser als Decals. Eure Pzkw. IV so gut ist, daß er Rads Schablonen würdig ist.
