Thanks David, Finished this one towards the end of January. Always wanted to take up tank modelling again, did it as child and thought I'd try again after a break of around 35 years! Only built 9 models since starting again so almost everything is a 'first' atm.

Olivier
Compliments !

Oscar Benavent
Hi David, Good Job. Compliments. I like it. Actually what colors were fire extinguishers? I always have this doubt painting panzers.

Skyhiker
Wow, I don't know much about armour but this look great to me. 🙂

David Taylor
Oscar,usually the same colour as the tank.Usually have yellow instructions for use on them.

Oscar you know my name is George 🙂? Or you might have been saying hello to David? Anyway, as David said mostly the same colour as the tank so usually grey or dunkel gelb but I have seen a late war turquoise one...will need to use that at some point!

Very nice desert Pz IV. well done. 👍
Just,.. if I may... IMHO the exaust looks a bit to redwish 🤔
I think it could be mixed with a darker pigment)???

James C
Awesome 👍

Ricardo Reis
Maybe a little too heavy on the chipping, but I think it looks great! 👍

Shawn Carrigan
Nice! Looks great to me. (Yeah, I agree the exhaust pipe is too red)

IIBSWAT .
Thanks for your nice comments Rui, James Ricardo and Shawn, much appreciated 🙂
Shawn and Rui, totally agree on the exhaust, I think it looks more like salami than rusty heated metal 🙂
Ricardo the chipping and wearing is underplayed my me as the actual vehicle was a total wreck (captured, with a big K9 slopped in white paint on it), I went for a point in time immediatly preceding capture. Good, easy to come by ref is pg 17 of Pz IV by David Doyle.
