Hello all, just wanted to drop by and say I just started the Dragon 1/35 panzer iv f2 g. Talk about a kit that falls together. My only gripe is there is no interior to look at if you want to leave some of the big doorsand hatches open. Shame really. Does anyone know of a kit of the panzer 4 with an interior or is it strctly aftermarket stuff ?
Cheers and thanks eh.

The Dragon "Super Kit" Panzer IV's, which preceded the "Smart Kits," had a full turret interior, including a turret basket, so you could open all the turret hatches up and have something to see (the current kits' detailing stops at the turret ring). These were the Panzer IV Ausf. E, D, B and C versions. The driver's positions had no detail apart from the hull machine gun, though. On the downside, the suspension was broken down into more assemblies than was really necessary, which led to the philosophical shift toward the Smart Kits. High parts count does not necessarily mean a better model (or a happier customer).
