Panzer stowage location?
« on: May 12, 2022, 07:00:29 pm »
Has anyone found instructions for where the stowage included on the sprues of later Pz III and IV kits should go? The tarp/tent rolls in particular have indentations on the back that seem to suggest a particular location is intended but I'm still looking!

Have a look at step "6" of the Panzer IV D/E instructions.
Except for part C09. there can be other locations for the parts to fit.

Oh, and some of that stuff fron the D/E kit should fit onto the F/F2/G/H kit, but depends if you use the schurzen.

Pretty much, you can put it where it can fit and makes sense. There was no rule to storage. Just be reasonable with it and it should look and work fine.

[edit]
I forgot to mention. Sometimes it is a good idea to take a look at combat photos (from books) and combat footage (from documentaries) to see how crews actually put stuff on their tank.

thank you very much for that pointer to the Pz IV D/E instructions - I had missed that when building the kit. Good pointer also on the wartime photos, though I have a better idea about how the general principles of you stow a tank having been a cold war crewman myself  :)
