Had a small pice break in removing it from the sprue. Managed to repair and place it. So main storage box is now installed on the turret too. -

Ah yes I did a lot of searching and looking in some games like Tank Mechanic Simulator. and found that majority of courses showed a light cream/Beige colour. the blue colour. was supposed to be darker but I quite like the look and contrast so I kept it instead of scrubbing and starting again. -

Well it's been a while. Have been to a convention and a military show (Militrax in the Netherlands) while waiting for replacement parts to come in. But now atleast work can continue. -

I It's definitely a nice kit tho this one is branded as the G verient. There is on there website the actual H verient as well. This kit however is like a mix between a 4G and A 4H. Still a nice kit -

There is definitely alot more loose tools on these German tanks compared to US and British tanks. But it's nice putting them all together and painting them. Very satisfied with this. First off the convoy light. Really happy with this tiny detail.Its such a simple yet ingenious way of keeping distance. If the following tank/vehicle is too close they would see all 4 lights. If to far they would see 1 block of light. But if at the right distance they would see 2 blocks of light. Now some hatches And before details shots Left sideRight side And now with the details Right side Left sideand a little close up -

There are so many tools and pieces of equipment attacked to the sides of this tank. And most other German tanks. Do you think they ever heard of using a tool box? Lotsa small details. Also really happy with thoes spare wheels I painted Theo's with no guide or cover/masking. And I also stuck on a small handle. -
astounding looking build. love the detail and scene.

It's a good model but I have found some issues with it. Firstly an error in casting leaving 2 holes slightly out of line but easily accounted for. But 2ndly I wouldn't call this a panzer 4H or 4G it's like an amalgamation of both. Biggest difference I have found so far being the radio antenna. On the 4h or any verient with the side skirts it should be on the back left side of the hull and there should be something in between the side skirt and hull were it is normally. But it's in the standard location. I'll come back and show with some images when I get round to it. But with that being said it's still a great model. Yet to do the turret but that looks like it's going to be the main bit of fun with a full basket and interior. -

Well what a day. I am now a fully qualified counter balance lift truck (forklift) operator. So what better way to celebrate than doing a little more tank. First up a couple towing hooks. Fastened them loosely into there brackets. After gluing the 1st bracket I had to slot the hooks into place.And here's there rest of the tools -

Thanks. I'm quite happy with it too. I just experimented and got it how I liked it. And yeah iv noticed most people assemble to models mostly or completely before painting. And I personally don't see how you can paint everything do well when done like that. This is just the way I have learned to do things. What I will say tho is that you find yourself repainting parts a fair bit. I hope to learn over time what parts are best painted in the process of construction and what parts after completion. -

Put the drivers view port and bow gunner-gun together and then in place. some really thin and fragile bits around the driver and bow gunners hatches.And the air intakes on the sides of the engine bay. and then made sure it all fits together nicely. -

Absolutely stunning. Had to tell myself I was looking at a model and not the real thing. Great work.

Moving along nicely Details on the track guards. Some hinges. Part of the spare wheel holder and a bracket And starting on the upper hull. and something of note. Atleast to me. The track guards didn't want to sit flat in there place. Glued down fine but without any glue or waight they sat like this. -
