Looking really good Lordette Catette. The scratchy and black smoked skirts looked dead on. You are a talented scratcher, must be from the constant practice.

Manie Warm Wishes

Looks good Cat the Scratched guards do look pretty cool can't wait to see it finished

Looking good cat - any other plans in temrs of PE partss? What paint job are you thinking of?

Cheers Cokes

hey cat that's starting to look good mate. Keep it up

Well done and a nice start! I love the PANZER IV

Looks great so far.
I am in the process of the same model myself at present, but have applied the Eduard Zim. Not totally impressed with my PE Zim as it seems a bit too severe.
Where can I get a template/dimensions for side skirts?

Cat,
Are you going to add the "U " shaped brackets that hold the side skirts to the triangle shaped mounts on the support rails?

Lord Majestic:

Regarding your midget update post:
The scratch skirts came out well on this one---, plus you did some work on the fenders-----congrats. Based on your past builds this should be a good one. Da IV has always been one of my favorites. Hopefully there isn't a whole lot lens work on this one---which will keep a certain someone off your back (lol).

Keep us posted.

You guys keep making me envious to build one of these things but only have the J or H from Dragon no Panver IVs in the stable and as Field Marshall of the Panzer troop I will take myself and have myself shot (++) (:-)

speaking of Panzer IVs have you seen the article that was in AFV Modeler back a few months ? Of the guy from Belgium or somewhere around those parts looks cool in rail road station

thats comeing a long really nice,
that tank has a lot of parts,
i have the acdemy verison and it dont fit that well so now its a spare parts tank lol

but keep us up dated with more pics

Looking very cool so far Mr. Cat. I broke open my can-o-whup ass on my PzKpfw IV for the "workhorse" build last night :-)

I really like the skirts... they add a ton to the overall look of the kit - very nice so far.

Have you decided if you are going to Uday the heck out of this sucker yet? I'm kinda curious now.....

Later-
Jeff
