Here are some pics of my pz IV so far; hope you like.

Kit:
Revell Pz. IV Ausf H
w/ Part Zimmermit
& Part Detail set

I didnt like how the camo tunned out ontop of the turret.

This one is kinda blurry.



I still have a lot to do.
Comments are welcome.

cool mate¬! i love panzer IV's!and that zimmerit looks mean!
looks like this is going to be a really nice model when she's completed! thanks for showing us! K

nicely done man. i like the zimmerit on it, looks pretty good

Nice kit like the zimmeritt. How was it as a kit to build Im into these Revell 1/72 their great kits

Thx guys this was my first time putting zimmermit on, and i have got to say i liek the look better it makes it that much more intresting to look at. As for the construction it was very straight forward and the pieces went together great. Revell are my favorite kits in 1:72. I only wish they would include figures like the tank commander or somthing.

yeah figures would certainly take em up a level!
i should maybe try the odd 1/72 kit sometime ?
i never built one that small before!

Its not as hard as people think, just if you get P.E parts the can be REALLY tiny i had a hard time bending some of them and lost a few others to the carpet gods.

yeah tell me about it!
i have made so many sacrifices to them
they must owe me an entire kit by now! :-)

Steeldog,givetheir Challenger a try its an early version but a nice kit to start on not too many tiny parts, the detail is fantastic.

yeah thanks i will do!
i really like the look of some of these small scale vehicles
i build tons of 1/35 stuff ,but i guess its just about taking it to the next level?
thanks man!

I will switch with you Steel I want to build a 1/35 Tamiya chally 2 and you can build a 1:72 kit

Cool ! hey yeah lets do it!
brill little project eh?

Well now youve done it guys!
i went to my local model shop today and on Easy_Co's advice i picked up[ a revell 1/72 challenger
for the little project RAF-Mad and i have planned
well john your rigt the detail is astonishingly everybit as good as 1/35 !(impressed )
and i'm so hook when i saw the kit i went all the way back and bought a 1/72 king tiger too now i'm stucjk on 1/72 stuff as well..... "oh no my missus is gonna kill me .....K :-)

You might be able to divert her by reminding her how inexpensive the 72nd kits are compared to their bigger brothers... typical 1/3 the cost (or less!) for the same thing in 1/35. Just don't let her know that the braille scale beauties are like salted peanuts... first you pop down one, then want another one, and another one, and another one... it's hard to stop

:-) YEAH JIM GREAT PLAN THANKS !!!!
i already want more of em!

I have just been informed i will be getting the Chally 2 as a christmas present so i guess i will have to wait that bit longer

DOH! (smacks fore head) !
oh well i'm sure i have tons of other goodies to play with until then! my new found obsession with 1/72 vehicles has already led me to produce rather a long wants list

christmas aint far off! ( i can hear sleigh bells already) .
(:-) K

Heh My want list is never satisfied. I have a Dragon Tiger w/ zimmermit, a Italeri Sherman m4, a Elefant SP, a ground vehicles set and a m4a3 Halftrack on my todo list. This is a small collection comapire with a lot of modellers.

I always need more models!!! :-)

Yeah i sold alot of the ones i 'm not ever going to get around to and kept the few of my crop that i really want to do
includes aircraft too so i now have it narrowed down to around 8 kits
not much, like you ,compared to some modellers ! my problem is time
i have now dicovered those great 1/72 subjects so i can now get my hobby "fix " in a few hours at a time ,and working from home means i just take a longer lunch break :-)

Update Of my progress:








Hope you like #:-)

wow RAF-Mad looking nice now!
its all comming together nicely!
love the little touch of the interior colour
and the mud applique! sweet !

Thx Steel, Just got a few more details and touchups then i will be done

looking kick ass mate!
any idea how i would simulate foliage camouflage in 1/72? i took a look down the florists and all they had were too big in scale
what would you use?

You know i have actually never done that yet must try it sometime as for materials i would use hmmm iam not very sure. I would have to do some searching on that.

maybe some very fine dried ferns? an maybeuse the stalks dipped in p.v.a. and static grass then airbrushed? yeah bit of a tough one eh mate?
i'll have to do some experimenting!
