You have done a super job with the detailing and the etch - very nice looking tank :-)

The only thing that I noticed is that you have the tracks on backwards.... they should be facing the opposite direction...

Other than that... GREAT JOB!!

Later-

Eric:

That PIV looks very nice. Could you give us a bit of detail on how you made the damaged storage box? The lid looks to be lead foil?

Indeed great building Eric. Love the whole, busy appearance of the model.
The Friul tracks look great ... great addition, but as jrnelson has already said they are on backwards.
Great PE work too. Have you seen the Tom Cockle DAK panzer IV-D build in military in scale (february 2003)? If you dont have it, it may be worth checking out as its quite an extensive article and interesting reading. Sorry I have no way of scanning it!
Good luck and looking forward to seeing this painted and weathered!
