If it were not for the maddening grind of the 36 roadwheels I might build ONLY PzIVs.... I find this the most iconic of German WW2 tanks and with its myriads of variations, conversions and derivatives, it could keep a modeller busy for a lifetime..... (just joking of course).

This is supposed to be a final J, from Dragon's not so hot kit 6080.

I've added frames to the top screens (why were they not included), additional armor in the form of Soviet tracks according to a well circulated photo of a PzIV.

As for the paintjob, I would like to stress that it is NOT supposed to be red oxide primer with yellow and white overspray, rather DG with RB overspray and white "outline" as per Osprey's NV.39 PzIV G H and J 1942-45.

Just a side-note, this IS supposed to be a pretty unused vehicle, so I've kept the grime, dirt and chipping down to a minimum, but it still is there...!
