So I finally decided on my first entry to the F.I.G.B.

Started a little while ago, with the last post on the orijonal thread being May 24th 2016, so I guess it qualifies  :rolleyes:

Forgot to post the "As Is" picture. Anyway, I realised that two would be better in this case.

First up is a picture of what has been assembled so far...



Followed by the loweer half of the box with the rest of the kit...

This is a tank I need to add to the stash for sure ..looking forward to what you do with this mate 👍
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

So am I. One change is to change the hull machine gun position from a slot to a ball mount, fairly sure I have one somewhere I can use.

Yeah that would look much better and more in tune with how they would have been mounted anyway .
It's not a Panzer IV...it's more like a giant Panther so a ball mount is the way to go .
