I'm looking to start Dragon's Pz.IV E Vorpanzer, soon. I can build either the early or late model. I need to know if there is an interior available for this kit. I prefer the full interior, but will settle with the fighting compartment and scratch build the engine bay.

It's your old thread. Ausf. E should be the same interior as the Ausf. D.

Thank you, Jesse.

Richard: I read that using the Verlinden interior requires quite a bit of work, and not just sanding/filling to fit.

I can't comment on the accuracy, but Tank Workshop has a complete interior as well as engine and fighting compartment sets.

I have experience with that particular interior. Given, it far outstrips Verlinden's offering and is more cost effective than CMK. However, I do not know if it is accurate for the early or late 'E'.

Being that the photo for the Tank Workshop interior is on a long barrel 75mm Panzer IV, I would go with "no".

Is there that much difference in the interiors of the E and later IVs?

Aber makes some PE for the turret interior I think it's 35A38 if you feel adventurous . Then they have 35A03 tool holders but I believe the kit PE covers that .

The ammo storage and bins were reconfigured in the hull, and then the turret needed some work as well to accommodate a bigger gun. The basic layout may not have changed at all, ie floor and turret basket, forward compartment etc, but there were differences in details.

I tried the CMK interior for my Stug III G. The kit was both Resin & PE. I was pleased with it, except for the radio's, I prefer the Dragon default radio's.
