just buy a PZiv and stick it in the wardrobe and when she spots it tell her it's been there for ages and thank her for spotting it

works a treat for me  ::) ::) ::)




kind regards Rob

It's amazing how many people do that.

Hi Guys just a quick update as to where I am at the moment. Due to Mackems post on the Panzer IV website I have had a change of direction. I am going to now go for a sort of " what if " super Panzer IV it will be loosley based on one or two of the Krupp proposals for the development of the Panzer IV. So far all I have photographed is this rough mock up. I will be posting moer pictures later today. I will also make this intresting by asking for your opionions on which direction I should take. That way even I am not sure what the finished article will be. All the best for now

PS pictures one and two are where I got my ideas from. The rest are the build in mock up.

Thank you Matt, not up to the standard of your super Preshing though. I have now finished the upper hull graft. I used an old KT hull and cut it down to fit ( now I know why I don't like scratch building ). The turret has had the cupola test fitted so all I need to do is get a longer gun for the tank looking at a 75L48 or L50 ( about 2.5 to 3 cm longer than the gun fitted as I am just eyeing the scale not basing it on any real tanks or drawings. Hoping to get a little more fab work done on the rear end and turret so people can have some input as to what they think looks best. The pictures below show where I am getting a lot of my ideas from and where I am now. All the best for now

PS also reduced the return rollers form four to three
