Just a question , this is just the turret right , no gun ? I don't see gun parts , so you would need to buy a pzr IV , a quad 20mm flak and the turret kit . ouch

Since we already have a Flakvierling 38 sprue, there is no reason to incorporate all the parts onto this turret sprue again.  We will have a final decision as to what to get bundled into this kit.

The turret is swappable between a mid-war Panzer IV (most often an Ausf H) and the Wirbelwind, so this product might be a two sprue kit (turret+gun).

Two sprue kit makes much more sense .  I know a lot  guys who are quite happy with their old so - so ( crap IMO ) resin tanks , but who would love some plastic add ons / up grades .

From the Panzer IV Digital Library Project comes our first product - Early War Panzer IVs.
Choice of either an Ausf D or E assembly. Working hard to get this released in Q4/18.

















Enjoy!

Good to see this kit so close to release.

I think the captions have been reversed.  The grey vehicle is an Ausf E, while the sand-coloured vehicle is an Ausf D.  Although all Ausf Ds serving in the desert had turret stowage bins and ventilators cut into the engine decks.

Only thing that jumps at me is the very poor detail on the jack . It should look like this -

 ( Dragon 1/35 Panzer IV D ) And , to repeat what Pinky said , if sent to North Africa , these panzers would have had the vents in the engine deck hatches  . I hope they are in the kit

The right side of the turret is correct too.  I like it.

From our Panzer IV Digital Library Project comes our second product - Mid-war Panzer IVs; choice of either an Ausf F, G or H variant.
Comes with removable schürzen, this time with more details, yet easy to assemble!





















Enjoy!

It's good to see the return of the Panzer IV.  I always liked your old kit, even if it had issues.  This one looks much better, of course - the details look sharp. The Schurzen seems to have been thinned down.  And I like the inclusion of the antenna guard below the gun barrel. Presumably there is a separate barrel for the Ausf F?

It seems to be missing the big engine filters that were fitted on most Ausf H's.  The shape of the muzzle brake also looks a bit odd.

 Very nice, can I have one now? (I've got some Kugelblitz turrets that have been waiting a while):) Nice fading on the paintjob too.
