Yes,believe it or not I am building a tank. I want to show one issued to the LAH in Belgium right before they went to the Invasion front. I am told I am pretty safe using a late AusH with zimm so I went with the superb Dragon kit. Last time I built a PzIV was back when the Tamiya H kit came out and there is no comparison,this one is like a crank phone vs an I-Phone.
This where I got to after two nights' work. The hull is just settin' there.

Lookin' good, Jerry, just a tank or a full-blown diorama to support it?

It will be sort of in between a vignette and a dio. I have a basic plan but the details have to get nailed down. I gave a more detailed overview on the diorama forum here.

Made some progress. All out of the box so far and I remain thoroughly impressed with this kit.

Which barrel would you have on this one: the "mid" or "late" KwK 40 L/48 gun?
