1/16 Panzer IV

I'm ready to start on the upper hull, so I thought it's a good time to post the latest progress.......
The rest of the ammo storage racks in, fenders on with the front bits replaced with some ones made from brass sheet. I unsuccessfully tried to make the rears out of brass as well, ran out of brass so I ended up using a candle flame to create some damage. That was a little nerve racking. 1729890061904911171911096052101.jpg17298901273543832771445140077689.jpg17298902836076442788529417161842.jpgfry17298903737845605778962937290468.jpg
 
That looks like a very extensive kit, and you seem to be making the most of it.

I'm only on my third 1/16 kit, but I'm enjoying modeling so much more I don't think I'll go back to 1/35. There's so much 1/16 out there these days.

Yep. And the older we get the better we can see and build bigger kits. As long as we have the room to shelf them. I love 1/16, 1/9, and 1/6 scale kirs.

Yes, another reason why I like the 1/16 full interior armour kits......it takes me alot longer to complete them so the shelf space lasts longer. I've spent the last two + years building just three kits. King tiger, Stug III, and now this panzer IV.
I've been thinking of a 1/200 USS IOWA or MISSOURI battleship kit to do after this tank just for a change of pace. Its about 5 feet long ,so I've been looking around the house to see where I can add a shelf to the wall for it........ even though I'll its probably years down the road until completion
 
I haven't alot of time to work on this lately, but I got the upper hull mounted. A couple gaps that wouldn't go away, but a little putty took card of that.

I also got the exhaust mounted, I not 100 % sure I'll leave it as is, might play around with the weathering some more down the road.17315245834215455691269563470839.jpg
I'm working on the interior of the engine deck hatches now.17315247053733567733070326290091.jpgOnce thats done then onto the interior of the turret.
