Go for the Pz IV. Everyone needs a pizzle in the hizzle. Besides, villains are 'cool' donchano. Go on, come join the dark side. We've got kittens!

Besides, 'Panzerkampfwagen' translates to 'Armored Struggle Buggy'. How can you say no to an armored struggle buggy?
Spoiler: show
Actually technically correct. 'Panzer' stands for armor, or armored in this context. 'Kampf' translates to battle, fight, struggle. 'Wagen' translates to car, wagon, buggy. And 'struggle buggy' just sounds hilarious to me. :D

M4A2E4, a Sherman modified for torsion bar suspension. Only 8 were made I think, and none seem to survive. HVSS was decided to be the superior suspension.

Indeed I did fynsdad ... It would be a nice twist on the Sherman... another eye opener for sure ;) ...so once you do decide Panzer IV or the Sherman...like I said.. I have a spare... actually two Sherman turrets ...one is yours if you want it... the other has Girls und Panzer written all over it... so that one stays :haha:

Have a good one Frank :thumbup:

OH Yeah ...I remember now...it was the other turret you ran short of... :{ ...no rush on the skirted 75 though fynsdad... you have plenty of those :D ...if I were in your shoes... I would be enjoying the Stuart... that thing is Awesome...looks absolutely outstanding in the picture that leads in the thread...If I weren't doing my Panzer... I might think about making one

You made an amazing model fynsdad.... you should take time to enjoy it :D
