I started this kit tonight, and have not had any problems so far. As far as anyone saying the kit sucks, its not really that bad. Mine must be a newer version or something. Anyone ever built this one?

it isnt worse, i think its the same like the old tamiya pz iv

yup mad max has it right its a rip-off/copy of the old 70's tamiya kit before it was re-tooled
looking forward to seeing done bud

I helped my oldest son built the Pz IV H a long while ago (he's 18 now). Decent kit that went together well. Good engineering with old Tamiya kits (Academy one is a knock-off), but the accuracy issue is what irks most modern model builders. Tamiya designed the kit around a motorized gearbox and battery compartment. Compromised accuracy for play.

This kit has been surpassed by even the old Italeri Pz IV as well as the DML ones and new Tamiya kit. But it is still a nice kit to build and has a good price.

Chip here is an image of my reissued tamiya OLD PZ IV,does yours have these openings?

Chip----yup I've built it and didn't think it was all so bad. Its a quick build, and for about $12 or so, I can't complain.

Pic attached---and good luck on yours!

Carl, I got these openings on the bottom of her, like a round hole and then a rectangular hole. It will comein handyy for mounting on a base when I get around to it.

She is pretty easy to.
