Yes indeedy, a very nice PZ IV . Subtle Weathering and lovely additions shows a great bit of thought over the whole model. Just wondering who's jerry cans they were; Dragon, Tamiya etc?

Excellent, John. As good as everything is, what ratchets it up that extra notch is the transulcent green tint of the cupola vision ports.

Cheers guys.

David, nothing I did was really very difficult. I just kept plugging away every night until it was done. The hardest thing I did was tie the wire to the turret stowage box clamps that holds the helmets and GM container. The rest was very straight foward!
