rvazquez Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 7Past December/2010 I started my work with a panzer IV Ausf H, but I stopped it because I had problems with my health. In February/March i re-started this project. Here are the pics of the all the process. Panzer IV Ausf H Early with With interiors (all) with resin and PE exteriors which includes turret, Fruilmodel tracks, wheels mask, MIG Exhaust pipe, RM Commander, MB Metal wheels, lead wires (3 types), more metal parts of J.Peddinghaus, screwheads / 3 types) of Lionmarc and Eduard gun barrel and more things.. --------------------------------------------------------- I am drilling the fighting zone and I will add some damage of laminate neglected The resin of verlinden not includes the accelerator and brake pedal, I made them using styrene. Adding a connection tothe lever of the transmission. The compartment of driver and fighting is loose into of the chassis: I added Styrene in order to fix them. I added some " box of connection " (or transforming?) for the connections in the walls made with styrene and screws of PE. Added supports of PE for the frontal cables and others will be put after of the assembly. The radio will be put during the final assembly. I drilled the plates for adding screws, well, I have a little failures in the align - I hope to solve it with a good weathering and/or add-ons. Ready more PE for the rear plate and front mudguards - The exhaust Pipe is of resin Assembling the Compartment Engine of resin of TWS, it arrived damaged, but not problem. I am reviewing the space before to glue and detail. About the Engine, I added in scratch the tube, hook and styrene I painted with red-hull of Tamiya all the interior plates. The next step is to painting with blank of Tamiya except the engine compartment Regards, Rodolfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvazquez Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hello friends!. More pics!. I drilled the superior plate of the turret for adding screws and rivets. I drilled the hinges and now the door can be open and closed. I removed the "L's" of the hoop because they are in position wrong (out) the position correct is (within ). I added PE with screws within the hoop I changed the handles of control of the box of the electrycally-powered ventilation in the turret roof, now they are more thin More drilling in order to open and close the hatches. Handles of PE has been added into the hatches (one was removed and added again) Added Port Vision and for the interior they were made with styrene and PE Added impacts in the front mudguards. Ready the support hooks in the hatches. Added the rear mudguards of PE Soon more pics!. Regards, Rodolfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvazquez Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Here are more updates. Turret protection:: I used the Schürzen of the kit because it it easier to move in order to show the interior (mount & dismount). I did not used the Photoetched because it would be impossible to mount & dismount to show the interior, the risk is to damage or bend the piece. I will use it in another Panzer IV i a fix form. Soon more pics. Regards! Rodolfo Here are more updates. Turret protection:: I used the Schürzen of the kit because it it easier to move in order to show the interior (mount & dismount).

Can you imagine a Journal filled with nothing but armor articles???........We would NEVER hear the end of it! It would turn into a "Where were you when the Journal published an all armor issue"? Bad Bad Man!!!!!! The mere thought of that should be worth 300 demerits!!!!!!!! Edited March 25, 2011 by Mark Aldrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvazquez Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 :D Hello friends! I bought the publication " Panzerwrecks - 7" and I saw that the ventilator have a floodgate maintained by a chain with a hole in a side and a series of screws above to which I decided to detail my piece. The tow cable is ready! Before beginning to paint, I will give a shield of " Mr. Metal Primer" of Gunze Sangyo that is excellent for one better adhesion.

rvazquez Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 :D Hello friends! Now it is ready to begin to paint. I applied the Primer and mask with masking and "Parafilm".

802chrisg Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Everything looks great exept one Very big glaring mistake. You left out the kitchen sink. How is a good tanker going to go into battle without being able to wash his hands. I think you need to take everything apart and start over. I can't believe that you would allow this.
