Panzer IV Ausf.J (frühe)

[Dario Risso]

Understood, Laurent, merci beaucoup. I think it would be not difficult to make those modifications.

Do you think the part I've marked in red rectangle must be zimmerited? I've see the Atak zimm pic you posted and it seems to be a piece of zim for this part, but I'm not sure

I've been experimenting with Milliput and a couple of Modelkasten zimmerit tools. This is like marriage: it looks easy until you try

The mantlet doesn't look OK to me, so I scraped off the putty
It may looks like in the below picture (the last image is the Atak zimmerit)

I think it looks pretty cool!
Here and there it looks a bit too thick, but that may very well be only the pictures. Keep it coming Dario!

Thanks Laurent; I ask because I see some tanks without zimm on the front plate (behind the spare tracks)









Darío

Dario, you may have made a point there.
it seems these do not have Zimmerit behind the track links ... which makes a sense in a way ... I'll work on it as I never noticed this detail ... one thing though with Pz IVs, Zimmerit is sometimes applied in a way that one dosn't see it on pics so we have to be very careful when we do not see it, it depends on the original pic resolution and the way it has been copied ... see what I mean ?
Anyway this is a new quest for me. Thanks to you my friend.

[Dario Risso]

Hehe, I know you will like it!

I added the rest of the zimmerit and 3 little chains on the rear plate





And, of course, the springs for the mud flaps of the fenders, built with copper wire





I could not resist the temptation of build some interior details: a resin transmision, scrachtbuilt radios and instrument panel, a spare ammo box from a Dicker Max, etc.

Someone likes his Panzer IV detailed ?

Hi Dario- nice to see what you are up to.
