Hi,
I wish to share some pictures of the model I recently finished, which is Dragon/CyberHobby Pz.Beob.Wg.IV.Ausf J. This is quite bizarre kit ('orange box') because the sprues are taken from several Dragon kits. Some of them are quite obsolete some of the are relatively new. The kit suffers lack of many details - accuracy is far from modern Dragon top end kits which is a real shame and unfortunately many parts have nothing to do with original Pz.Beob.Wg.IV. Anyway, I decided to do my best and squeeze am much as I can from this kit. The camouflage scheme did not represent any particular model from the literature...simply because this kit is far from original Pz IV ausf J Beob smile.gif. I have tried to make this model similar to the other Pz IV units used in Ardennes in 1944.
I hope you will like it:)

Very nice build and your painting / weathering is extremely well done.

Thanks for spotting this Gary. Normaly I try to sand down residual molds as much as I can - this I simply overlooked. Anyway, it will be corrected.

Great looking tank. I have a soft spot for Panzer IV's and that is a awesome looking tank.
Thanks for sharing.
