The work on the model from DML of the Panzer IV/E is done. Maybe a tweak or two here or there but time to move on...

That looks great!!!, I just finished mine (minus tracks). I wish mine looked half as good as yours. I was just looking at in on the other site before I saw it here.
One question- how the heck did you ever put together those damned padlocks?

Looks good, the road wheels on the turret look a little out of place in the grey colour though.
I have the bogeys built for mine and thats about it lol... still trying to decide on the order of assembly/painting.
I was initimdated by the kit, so ran out and bought some quicker building kits to get some practice before I continue with it.

Hi Ron,
It was sorry to let you wait for the shipment. You can send me an email to see if the particular shipment. We can help to track the thing from HK Post Office. Normally, it takes 1.5 months to reach North Amercia, but I doubt the high traffic season on X'mas could create a long delay.
Regards

Very nice Jet!
I love the look of a dusty panzer. I esp. like the subtle chipping you done. Its just perfect in IMO. Its an easy thing to overdue and you end up with a model that looks like its been sitting in a scrap yard for 10 years.
What colour did you use to paint it?
Again very nice job.

SKurj has a point about the spare roadwheel color being gray.I'm not sure about spare road wheels having the hub on them.I've always seen them with open shaftway.
Hi guys,
Here is a picture of the real one that mine is based on

The caps are on and the wheels look grey to my eyes.
