well you could make a muddy dio scene if it's really bad.

yeah, I put several styrene tubes to compensate. If I remember somebody on some review forum also mentioned the inward bow of the hull on the Pz IV.

Panzer V or PZ IV? any whoo, how about seeing if the hull is straight and level, as that maybe the problem.

I check my stash of kits again and I think its the bottom pin that is holding the whole thing out. you may need to trim it just a hair, also check to see if the bogies are level on the glueing side.

Is this the new revised one? I know the current panzer IV's that have the one piece bogies are like that. What I usually do is sit by the stove and carefully boil some water and dip them in for a couple of seconds(not much more or you risk melting them) and place them on the model and very carefully bend them 'till it looks right. But make sure every wheel pin is level. or else you run the risk of crooked wheels. Hope this helps.

Check their website. www.dragonusaonline.com and you should find out. or send them an email.

Yup, got mine sitting on my workbench 1/3 done, think now I'll finish it. Keep up the good work!

Tape and tight fittings do lots of wonders. But If your die hard into finding leaks, use dish soap and water, and apply liberally to all connections to find the leaks.

I read about the name change in Finescale Modeler sometime ago.

MV,MV,MV,MV,MV,MV.........

makes me want to build one. very nice, keep up the good work.

no problem, might make you want build every early panzer IV I'm now hooked on panzer IV's.

Does anybody know if the mid production m4a1 in Italy had the spring latches on the driver and bow gunner hatches? As far as I know the early Shermans in Africa didn't have them.

Yeah, I haven't seen a model at our local Wally-mart in awhile. Our LHS is a cool guy to deal with; I know for sure that he'll have my business. B. E. Carlos keep the motivation up.

Did you ever get the Osprey book "Modelling the early PzIV" as it shows a bunch of conversions using the tamiya ausf D as a base kit and correcting the tamiya ausf D kit too. All this before the Dragon Kit's came out.

Yes it very nice figure. If I could only get Jack to do another figure workshop in our club again, cause I have a couple sherman tankers to paint, and I suck at figure painting.

Dunno what they use, but I always use something aftermarket now. Fruil supposed to have their PT tracks out already, just heard that through the grapevine, so who knows.

It's been a year since I painted it and it feels like I painted it with oils.

very nice sherman, done just right. keep up the good work

Well I didn't have a good time working with Trumpeters LAV vinyl tires as the paint didn't want to dry on them so I ended up buying some resin replacements. I would think their quality control would catch this as would some other companies.
