PSC Panzer IV 225

I've got my Cam back!
I'll start with the "last" tank from my platoon (2nd Platoon, 2nd Coy) number 225:
This tank (like the remaining two) has several modifications:
"Blitzkrieg-Fuel-Upgrade": A rack for 5 Jerry-Cans
 Spare-tracks as additional Armor on the turret...
 ... and the hull. All with appropriate suspension brackets.
One mudguard is folded up.
One of the Schürzen-Parts went missing. Since the Schürzen-Mounts are very basic in this model, I scratched an appropriate suspension, including the triangular teeth.
To make the suspension fit in, I had to move the airfilters closer to the hull, meaning lots of filing and scraping from the part behind it... ;)
Finally I drilled out the muzzle-brake, the gun-barrel and the exhaust-pipe.

Pics of the other two tanks will follow these days :)

Now I'll go catch something to bite. Lunch-Break is already almost over ;)

Cheers,
Mojo

  5. You did a nice job with the paint on this. Did you use an airbrush to get the camo lines to look so fluid and yet even?

  8. Nice late war tanks! They could be a bit more dirty, but that's personal taste.
