Carius Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi folks, my humble project depics a Pz.IV, Water War, Golan Heights, 1965. This version saw combat against Israel in 1965 (Water War) and 1967 (Six Day War). Well, I used a 1/35 Tamiya's Pz.IV Ausf.J, MR Models Panzer IV Syrian Army conversion code 35174 and Academy Pz.IV late track links. It’s unclear if the Syrians installed modern Soviet radios in any of their Panzer IVs, but only in this particular case, I decided to put an antenna. Heavy weathering. 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Awesome Carius. The weathering is right on and that cable up front looks just right. Did you do a WIP for this project as I must have missed it. Lloyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Great job as always Carius. I really like that shade of green which makes this unusual version stand out from all the other Pz IV's. Superbly weathered too. Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 very neat work on an unusual subject.

Soeren Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Nice one. Where can you have a better justification for heavy wear than in a 20+ years old tank in the desert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Lovely job Carius. It's not often that you see one of these in anything other than German markings, so it makes a nice change. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) I remember reading about this a little while ago. Pretty cool And nice work on the tank itself! ^-^ Also, they somehow managed to get crates of STG-44s in the recent Syrian Civil War. Hell, there was a gif of one they'd turned into a remote weapon.

Kris B Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I didn't know the Syrians were using those vehicles. Good biuld. My only one concern is the colour of the rubber bands on road wheels. Shouldn't they be in rubber colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I had seen pictures of one of these, although in black and white, it seems almost abstract to see these tanks fight again in a year so far from its manufacture and under this banner. Very good job as always,, cheers Cesar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
