Panzer IV Ausf J ( DML #6575 )

[Roy Schlicht]

Nice looking build. I still have "nearly completed" models on my bench from 4 years ago. I just need to get motivated enough to finish them up. Again nice job.

Thanks roy, still a long way before it's finished.

I had the same issue with the old #6080, referring to the Thoma shields attachment.
And I remember if you follow the template provided, the shields was too tall. Beware of that.
Waiting for updates

Thanks Dario. I too remember the old kit. This time the template's oK and the shield's not too tall.
Only the horizontal ones seem to be a bit over sized (plastic too thick) and I'll see what's doable.

Welcome back Laurent- I' sure this thread will come in handy somewhere down the line!

[Laurent Moitrot]

Thanks James. I hope I'll be able to fond some time to work on it this week. I am waiting for some Modelkasten tracks as the ones in the kit are not exactly the ones that were seen on late Js.

[Tim Coulson]

Looking good Laurent.

[Laurent Moitrot]

thanks Tim ... I worked on the kit a bit today but not sure it's for beter or worse ... *fingers crossed*

[John Mohnen]

Nice work Laurent.
The schurzen look awesome.
Would like to see some moe pics of the interior of the beast.

[Laurent Moitrot]

Thanks for the kind words.
I confess the model is on "stand-by" mode at the moment too much work and too little time.
I worked on the paint and made a mistake so I'm trying to find an easy way to fix this problem.
The interior I will not overwork as it is barely seen when the turret's in place. It was more a matter of using this resin kit I had in stock than actually building it and weathering it.
