Electrics.....probibly DBC, I've got a spare Tamiya Sherman MFU but would need a DMD unit. You never know someone might want a MFU unit and have a Pzr iv to swap

Oh I like the Plastic tracks...they do have flex...I've actually found the occasional track derailment or separation fun and realistic..Happens all the time with my Panzer III ...I just step back and exclaim .."COOL"

I also like the Oskettens...have a set on my Stug... I was pretty surprised by the added traction...they are heavy though... and add a lot of girth ...wider turns are a must... but dang are they cool (something I'm still considering for this Panzer IV)

I only wish I had the stockpile of part and tanks that you have also your skill...though the doors are still wide open for me... it generally is a opening to a path of pain and confusion You are well past that point fynsdad... and are fortunate to be surrounded by a community that supports Hobbies ...especially when it only adds to the adventure of a "well planned project"

Can't wait to see you get one...

Carpe Diem fynsdad

Do you make your own decals or have you found a supplier?

Both lol.... At one point I made them...then I found someone who could print them for me

Just a note John... the number 6 on the Panzer III was done by hand painting so was the puffer fish on the PanzerIV ... since Girls und Panzer's popularity has grown in the states...there is someone making decals for the tanks now... unfortunately he does them for 1/35th scale ...there is also another person who sells markings on Ebay..they are just the general insignias...and the way he prints them ...they are just a variety.. going from small to big

Good Luck

I was thinking of changing the barrel... but it doesn't seem I have too...it was the muzzle break that bothered me

but historically it's correct and.. as well as on the anime





Yup there she blows! It stays
