Started my next 1/35 project, a Sturmgeschutz IV by Tamiya. The first part was to put all of the wheels on. 🙂

Nice to see how a oldie can be resurrected Guy. I meant to buy this in the 1970s but never got round to it, so I only have a couple of the Dragon kits on the shelf. I suspect you'll have finished this before I could even get the wheels done on one of the Dragon kits!

Added most of the tools on today, spare tracks and rack for spare wheels. 🙂
@ Neil: it'll be good to see your Dragon kits if your 1/72 armour is anything to go by! Thanks for the kind comment. 👍

You're welcome Guy. I think it will look better than it ever did with most builds in the 70s. Incidentally I don't know why but I always liked the crew figure included in this kit. One of Tamiya's better efforts from that era. Are you going to include him? 🙂

Now declared as completed. There are photos of the vehicle with and without the side panels. I have tried out some more weathering, trying to make it specific to the terrain on the board its sitting on.
I decided to add a Panzer Grenadier in order to practice my figure painting.
As you can see Neil P, I have used the commander from the kit. 🙂
Many thanks to Simon N, Mathias, Carlo & Jan Z for the likes.

Bravo Guy! So good to see this done. Proves these oldies can still hold their own.

I built this kit as my first ever armour build (i'm just on my second now lol). Nice little kit to cut your teeth on. You've done a nice job on this Guy 👍
