Peter Marshall Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Wanted a change from aircraft, so dug out a nice Panzer IVE, ideal for my favourite period - the western desert. I'll be doing mine as the option from the 5th Leichte Division, early in the siege of Tobruck, so one that was originally Panzer Grey, then sprayed in the field. A couple of hours of cutting, sanding and glueing - the running gear is all built up Then the first problem - managed to lose one of the idler wheel axles, so out with the plastic rod and plasticard and made a replacement. This does of course mean that next weekend i'll find the original piece. Finally for the day, made up the rear bulkhead Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Today's work - got a lot of the hull complete, just need to add all the tools and doors on the right hand side tomorrow. Managed to loose some of the PE for the ladder so had to replace it with plastic card. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
