Panzer iv

[CallSignOWL]

My club is having a Panzer GB, so I figured Id give armor another try. I had the monogram Panzer IV in the stash, so that's what Ill be going with. Im not going to go too crazy with this, as I am more focuses on the build and finish--so no scratchbuilding an interior and no AM parts.

I did bring up my collection of random 1/35 bits, so we'll see where that goes

Blooming 'eck - that bloke in the turret is about to have that grin wiped off his face when he sees what's over his shoulder!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this Owl.

That is the first large scale tank kit that I ever built, way back when! Good choice

The Monogram kit has feature from several later versions. A G sprocket , a J turret, and the gun tube, hatches, and other features from Hs & Js. I suspect it was probably based on a museum tank that was cobbled together from various wrecks.

...I wouldnt know enough to tell the difference between any of those. I guess i'll just refer to it as a generic Panzer?

LOL! Well, at least a late model Panzer IV since it has the schurzen, long gun, etc. when compared to the
F1 and earlier versions. But with a little work you can make a more accurate late G, H, or J, depending upon what you add, leave off, or alter. Or just go straight OOB...
