Panzer IV/G early
By: Thomas Kelm
Manufacturer(s): Revell
Modifications: I changed the fenders (also the Tools). Drilled out the tooth of the Chains.
Description: The Modell shows a Panzer IV/G early in southrussia 1943. It was brushed with Tamiya& Vallejoarcylics. Some washes, some Drybushing, and some (only a little Mig Pigments). The Figurines are from Preiser supered with some Wire and PE rests. They were also painted with Vallejos!

- Some really nice etch work with the Chains,Tool clamps & straps. I am impressed with the drilling out of the guide horns on the tracks too. The second wheel on the left hand side is out of plum & there is a gap in the track at the bottom of the rear idler. Also you did not clean up the join, just in front of the smoke dis-chargers enough. The commander's hatches general opened wider than how you have fixed them. Paint is fine, I like the camo & rust on the exhaust & tracks. Application of decals are good (But I can't say I have seen the cross on the turret side like that before?usual place is behind the vision slot on the hull side.) Could to with more chipping like on the tool box & turret side hatches on other parts of the vehicle. Lastly some pinwashes to bring out the details on the wheels
- Judge 2
- A very good build with great attention to detail. The paint basic camouflage colours have been applied quite well but the finish looks a bit plain and flat. Some shading and shadows around the details would help improve the finish. Also the exhaust is nicely rusted but the rest of the vehicle looks much newer and cleaner in comparision.
- Judge 3
- A very good and clean building, with an excellent precision. All added details are good built and well done. Base painting is good, thinking also that has been made with the brush. What is lacking is tha shading and tha contrast. It seems that no washing and drybrushing has been done.
