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. fry

Great detailed interior, excellent!

Love the build so far. It looks great!

That looks like a very extensive kit, and you seem to be making the most of it.

Yes, the box says "2000+" pieces

Kevin, great work so far.

 

[Jakko]

Yes, the box says "2000+" pieces

That makes it sound like a jigsaw puzzle

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
