If it is not a strange word to use about a war machine, that is a beautiful build Vinnie, it is a real piece of art if you dont mind me saying so.

Nicely weathered Panzer IV. As usual great paint work. What paint did you use?

Nice painted vehicle this..... looks very good.... I have a question are you yet finished this article or are you still working on it... It seems a bit short on information... Have you got pics of the built itself... did you encounter any problems.
Would love to hear this as I know somebody who sells one of these kits and thinking of getting one
With friendly greetz

Excellent work Vinnie ! Do you have any in-progress shots like you usually have ? I have this fine kit myself and wondered if you encountered any fit problems, or any goofs with the instructions ?
Again, you did some really nice work here on your Pz Kpfw IV Ausf B. Now I want to start mine
Cheers !!

Thanks Guys!
Marcin, I've rcently bought a set of the life colour paints (German camouflage set) to try, but forgot I had them and resorted to Tamiya paints for this. It was basically a custom mix of varying shades of grey.
Andy, I used the easy ones! I want to use the ones in hundreds of pieces, but unless I'm going to show them disassembled, there's not much point!
Robert, I have kept some in-progress shots, but I can't find them? I'll find them eventually though! I can't remember any specific problems while I was building it though.

While some modellers have a lot of apprehnsions about these latest dragon kits, you knock them out at leisure ... and to a high standard. Nice finishing Vinnie. Love the exhaust colours. Its always great tosee the latest kits built up and painted.
Your spare parts bin must be quite healthy at this stage!

Always have a soft spot for panzer gray finishes and particularly like the way you weathered this one. Very nice!
