Hello All
I got my hands on this Tamiya Panzer IV at the weekend. Its the full option kit but as you can see it is in a pretty poor state. it has not been used much as it has been sitting on a shelf but it will need pretty much starting again to get it right. problems I have spotted so far
Turret armour is not in correct place, it is glued to the supports but not in the correct places. The right hand side sticks forward about 10mm further than the left
One of the wheels is jammed
one of the tracks is a good few links longer than the other
the added armour at the front of the hull is at an angle
turret gun elevation is installed incorrectly so there is no elevation and the gun is just flopped in a downward angle.
loads of blobs of glue on hull and turret, luckily it seems to scrape of easily leaving no damage. Not sure what type of glue it is
obviously paint job is not good so will get repainted in dark yellow with a green and brown scribble cammo scheme
I love a challenge and thought it would be a good idea to this picture so that I can post finished pics when it is done.

Finding a Tamiya pzIV in any condition is a bit like finding Blackbeard's Treasure 
There are quite a few Pz IV fans on this board.
