You've never taken a shortcut when it came to making something, and you've usually even made it out of metal! It really is a great representation of what's shown in the anime series. -Mike

Thanks again Mike...sorry for the late regard... you know my hand has been bothering me... so I hope you understand the delay...but yes... If it weren't for that FoV hull... I don't think I would have gone this far with this build ...I would say it is the one factor that made this one get to this stage with such pleasing result ...It is different... and what I like best ... is that though I could have done it with plastic and fillers... the metal hull made it so I did not have to compromise the strength and integrity of the tank itself ...she is very solid ..and will not fail because of glue deterioration ...I can't thank you enough...I don't think I will ever be able to repay your generosity

PANZER VOR! my friend

Thanks Horses.... the paint was the easiest job on this build as she seemed to fight me every step of the way... but I think she's happy now... as she is running smooth as silk ...

Thanks again for the kind words Horses

Hey TK... she's coming... sprained my wrist doing the rotor cover(mantlet)...when I initially over bored the hole for the 105...little did I know I would change to the 75...making the task as well as my injury unnecessary It slowed and frustrated the build for sure... but at least she's at the point where ..Yes .. Kei will be in the commanders hatch...plan to work on her soon... just doing a few studies so I can get her hair and jacket correct

Thanks for the regards Tk ... It's been awhile... what are you up too

You deserve some research that is easy on the eye. I have no doubt she will be a stunner.

I have been on a parts hunt. Just waiting for bits now. Then some small repairs to the Leo, Battle system in the M4 and a bit of a touch up! Then I start my scary project.... My sons WoT Panzer IV, it will be my first ever rebuild!!!

WOW!...Good to hear you are keeping busy lol....sounds like a lot of work...I'm sure it will be fun to do all of them ...Planning on a couple of re builds myself once this one is finished...going is slow.... and the best I can do is keep my fingers crossed with the final steps...Kei definitely isn't going to be an easy make... I see complications with her hair already ... but she needs to get done

Good luck with your restorations... I hope you include us in your Panzer IV reconstruction...I think it will be an awesome thing to watch
