Well, it's a little on the grungy side

This was a pretty fun, simple build.

"Grungy" is good! Love the idea of this thing banging away. Would both barrels fire at the same time or do you imagine it alternating left-right, left-right?

Tracks look very real, too.

Grungy is very good, if anything it looks pretty fresh to the battlefield. Looks very nice, what's the scale again?

Tanks are meant to be grungy - thats whats fun about building them

I think the barrels can fire independently or be syncronized to fire together, either way it's a lot more work for the loader

The kit is a 1/72 Italeri Panzer KPFW IV. The insructions were a bit vague and I didn't have much in the way of reference. afterward I found some pics that show the side skirts should be a bit more forward but they didn't really fit that way when I tried it.

Overall I like it but learned a few things for my next armor build.

Jeff,

Nice Panzer!

I agree with what the others have said, it needs to be a little more grungy.

Hey! I had to pay extra to get the local car wash to get her this clean

Wicked!

Wow that rocks, Jeff! I am especially impressed by your treatment on the ends of those double barrels! Looks like they've been firing off a truckload of ammo!

I can just see this one in the desert making mincemeat out of anything that crosses its path.

GOOD!

I like it!!!!!

Mind you it would be a little cramped in the turret

Kick donkey panzer, a little cramped in 'der Turm' but hell, just fill it with 'Volunteers' or 'Ethnic Germans'... as for the skirts, don't quote me, but they might be round the wrong way?

Thanks Maverick, I was worried about the skirt direction and checked and rechecked several times, they are as far as I know correct but I think the positioning is off and makes them look odd. I'm pretty sure the crew are all midgets
