Greetings and welcome to Armorama and its Braille Scale community. From what I see it looks like a very nice kit and you are doing a great job in assembling it. I have reviewed the Dragon Panzer IV F2 so I trust that this one is of similar quality.

If you build small scale models then might I suggest that you join the Braille Battlefield Campaign. There are a large number of participants and some great builds going on. Just click on the image in my signature below to read the rules and enlist. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the Campaign Thread. It just started on November 1 and will run until May 1/11. We'd be happy to have you join us.

Cheers,
Jan

Istvan,

Very clean build thus far. My only complain is that the chain hanging off of the rear storage bin is a bit over scale. I understand how difficult it is to find chain that can be used in this small scale so no biggy. Waiting for more progress photos. Welcome and glad to see you here.

Hoping to see more of your work. Nice photos too!

After a little break here's the next step:the paintjob.
Photos aren't too good;I mixed the base colors a bit too faded but it will be a good start for the filters and washes.
Colors are:
Dunkelgelb:Tamiya XF60+white
Panzergrau:Hobby Color H308 Grey (USAF color I think,but will be much darker...)

Istvan,

I like your Pz.Kpfw. IV AusF. F1 so far. The detail is astounding!

I would suggest a smaller scale chain, though. The one you showed ealier is so large I think it would collapse the storage bin sheet metal from its weight.
