That Panzer IV was captured by the Russians, given to the Syrians and later captured by the Israelis. I don't know how many this happened to, but one of these with shurtzen on the turret only, was then traded to an armor museum in Mattituck, Long Island, NY which has since moved to Danville VA. I have photos of it from the summer of 1998. I think the owner said it was still functional and they took it out to run a couple times a year.

Here's a link to the home page and a shot of the Panzer IV. http://www.aaftankmuseum.com/

What a fantastic Dio.

I'm not sure whether its inspirational or whether its telling me to give up because I'm never going to make the grade.

I must say I'd like to find 3-4 hours every week to do modelling let alone 3-4 hours a day.

Thanks for showing us the link.

Cheers
