Hey guys just looking for some help on finding some detailed pic of a Pz IV Ausf. H. I just bought the revell 1:72 kit and 2 PE sets for it. I got the zimmermit and detail sets from PART (from poland), does anyone one know if these are any good? And since this is only my second time using PE parts i will be looking for help, my first attempt ended in wasting a couple of parts and not attaching others .

Oh i already have some pics but iam looking for ones which show details ect.

Thanks in advance, John

Part makes some of the better 1/72 scale PE sets. Don't feel you have to use everything on the fret though. Sometimes the plastic kit part is superior to the flat PE.

Eduard's web site (www.eduard.cz) has a good primer on how to work with PE. Some of the newer Eduard 1/72 scale PE sets are following suit with their 1/35 scale sets and replacing just about everything they can with PE. A lot of times it just isn't necessary.

This is a very good point. I use quite a lot of PE but I've never used a complete PART set. Usually I only use about half of each set and keep the rest as spares. Some of the items are ridiculous - flat tool and grab handles for example

They're still usually worth buying though, even if only some of the parts are useful.
