Spending the afternoon with some Russian beauties, Zvezda I mean, Part IV; building the PZ IV d 1/100 15mm

     I remember doing a review of this kit ages ago when it first came out but, for reasons unknown, I never posted a build on it. Well better late than never, so here we go.

box art and contents

this kit is simpler than the PZ III and only has the track assemblies,

no fancy extra hull side bits on this model

the lower hull and the mudguards.......

....go together as simple as that

turret assembly consists of adding the commander's cupola

be sure to get the hatch lined up properly before pushing the cupola in tight, 

once it is in there is no getting it back out

the three sub-assemblies ready to go

and, faster than I can type it, they are together

     Another tour-de-force display of engineering ingenuity and careful craftsmanship. If you need this version of Panzer IV you need look no further.

     Very Highly Recommended.
