This is my Panzer IV ( 1/72 Revell Kit, Extratech Interior and acesories, Aber barrel, some scratchbuilding).
I´d like you to check the interior (driver compartement, engine) for missing details or errors (the turret will not be detailed):
Thanks a lot for any comments!
PS: some more pics in my gallery:

PPS:
I´d like to make a dio with the Panzer IV abandoned in late-war Germany - would a hard-edged three-tone camo be adequate for this?

Very nice level of detail for that scale - good work! Don't think my eyes could cope with that...

Very very good Ekke! I don't think I'd be able to do that at that scale either! How much of it will you be able to see when it's closed up?

Thanks for the kind words guys, I think I´ll finish the paintjob of the interior today and then close the hull tomorrow...
Good question :-)
Well with all the hatches open you see surprisingly much of the interior and I will add a tiny light so it´s not all dark. Only problem I realised is that the Schürzen would probably block the engine hatches in reality, but I guess I can solve that one...

Hallo Ekke,
Wow! Maybe 1/48 is TOO BIG, and I'll consider 1/72 to be the TRUE SCALE

Little Update:
The interior is painted now and a tiny lamp installed. After attaching the tracks I´ll glue the hull which is about to get some more scratched an PE details.
Hehe it surely is the true scale if you ask me :-)
