Does anyone have detailed technical drawings of the Mk. IV Panzer? I've been trying to locate interior drawings for my eldest son (MasonTheKid) and myself for our builds that we are doing.

I started researching books on the Mk. IV, but am unable to verify (before I buy) that the drawings are present in the available books....I went as far as purchasing one that looked like it might have them, but was disappointed to find no tech layouts at all.

Thanks Frenchy!

I'd poured over the Panzer Universe site, but couldn't get the images enlarged enough to see clearly...though some of the pics are helpful.

Darren, that is helpful with the placement of the Verlinden interior pieces. Thank you for posting it.

What manual is it from? Does it have the turret layout as well?

Regarding the electrical wiring, I'm starting to think that no such drawings exist.

Sorry Neal I found this via google images and the only text said that it comes from a Japanese manual.

Thanks Darren....I figured you had an extensive library of military equipment

I'm trying not to fund a full library instead of buying models, paints, etc....

I got to thinking and figured if I could break down some of the electrical "areas", such as radios, transmission, engine control panel, etc, I'd piece it all together and show Mason so we can "wire up" our IV's together...

Here's what I found regarding the radios:

Achtung Panzer No. 3

Not sure you can even get this anymore, plus it will all be in japanese, but should have interior photo's

Oops, sorry about that, I remembered the George Bradford sample was a panzer IV but hadn't spotted it was exterior only...

at least some of the others have found some pictures for you

Hi Neal,

I've been watching both panzer iv builds with great interest. I have a Pz.Kpfw.IV C (6291) and a Pz.Kpfw.IV E (6264) both with verlinden interiors on my bench and I have run into the same dilemma in regards to how the interior is laid out especially the turret roof. I found a few links that might be helpful.

Keep up the good work on those panzers.

Thanks,
R.J.
