Hello everyone!

Here I´m again with an early war tank. This time, a Pz IV Ausf B from Dragon. This AWFUL kit took me more than 3 months to finish it. Why?

18 parts for just one bogie!
Dozens and dozens of PE parts!
Instruction sheet absolutely un-clear for different options and variants!

Thanks God, the fixing of the pieces was excellent (excepting the muffler)

It was very hard for me to finish assemblig the kit. My skills with PE, small parts and complex assemblies is really limited. I admit, I preffer painting....

awesome work josé! congratulations on finishing this beasty kit! although i have to admit that i like those DML madness kits!

Hi Jose.

I must admit that difficult assembly or not, you have done an amazing job of it. And now comes the best part of watching you do your magic with paint and weathering. This is going to be one to watch.

I don't know what happened earlier but the images that are now at the top of this thread weren't showing up in my Firefox browser.

That's a very nice looking build.

Cheers from Peter
 
Thank you ladies and gentleman!!!! :woohoo:

Kreighshoer ... I admire you! ... I had many moments of dispair! A too much time consuming task!

Dario .... yesss!!!! .... finally some fun with this one!

Richard, nice to see you again!. Still waiting for M4 model´s tracks for your AMX-30 ...

Gary ... maaaaany thanks!. I´ll use the same weathering techniques used on Pz III Ausf A, but with not so many dust.

Peter ... thanks!

Massimo ... I´ve learned a lot of watching your kits and your oils technique. Be sure I´ll use them in this tank.

Dioramix ... many thanks my friend!.... but I was REALLY close to send this kit to the trash!
 
Persevierance and skill won out. It looks super. And think, one day you'll look at this gem on the shelf and realize how much fun and challenge it gave you. Cant wait to see it in paint.

Hi Jose.

That is a great color scheme. And the tone and depth you have already given it are fantastic. And Happy Birthday again ;) .
