I am not sure what version it is for, but I found it to be pretty accurate. The instructions are not very helpful at all, I had to rely on reference material. I also added the wiring and turret bracing.

It is not a bad kit, with a little work, looks great.

After furthing research, I've found conflicting reviews. PMMS says it is a excellent kit. Other forum posts complain about the fit, stating that there are gaps between the sides of the hull and the driver's compartment. Still more forum posts claim that the only problem was having to remove the interior hull supports. At $25, I will give it a go.

Matt

Here are some pic's inside my Dragon Panzer IV Ausf G. The Verlinden kit does take a little work, sanding, and dry fitting, but looks good in the end.

That is impressive. I think I will mate it with TWS engine compartment as the Verlinden kit looks a little soft in that area.

Nice work Matt!

Both Mason and I used this interior set on our MK IV's....I had more trouble simply because I'm old all the same, it is a good interior and you make it look right,,,thumbs up!

I know this is old, but to those who are new or looking for a clear set of instrucions for the Kit #2324 for Dragon's Panzer IV Interior, I contacted them and they set a PDF file with clear instructions with a note saying they are in the process of converting to color

But in the meantime try these... https://gallery.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php?cat=27836

I remember another example of where I saw/read/heard the word "Ingot"...I had asked Adam Wilder a couple questions about texturing and here is his response to one of my emails:

Yes Mike,
Place this over all of the thick ingots of steel.
Cheers
