Work In Progress / Re: The Panzer IV Digital Library - Wire-Mesh Skirts 180429
« on: May 28, 2018, 09:05:35 pm »
I have a couple of sources that nominate Ausf D production commencing in October 1939. One has the following sentence 'Krupp continued to turn out PzKpfw IV at a strangely lethargic pace: none in September, 20 in October, 11 in November, 14 in December. I found a Wikipedia entry that also nominates 45 as the quantity of Pz IV's produced between the commencement of hostilities and the end of 1939.

My preferred rule set is Chain of Command. In it the lack of a hull mounted machine gun in the Ausf C is a distinctive and important feature. I can't comment on Bolt Action.

Tracks. I'm sure you are wrong about Poland. I don't think games are much of a reference source.

We're in sync again EWG, as we usually are.

I don't want to hijack the BA-6 topic so will keep this short. EWG, your list includes many commonalities between the C and D Pz IV variants and Rubicon are going to give us a D. I remain to be convinced the differences can't be overcome with relatively few resin parts. The case for the C revolves around it's importance in the Polish campaign where it can't be substituted for without the use of a time traveller. In the WWII context the BA-3 is not so important as the BA-6 is a legitimate non time travelling alternative.

Nothing against the BA-3 though.

I like your thinking EWG. However if you can persuade Rubicon to provide a BA-3 when they haven't shown much interest in providing the parts for a Polish Campaign Panzer IV I will be amazed.

The parts count isn't a huge issue to me. I tend to make choices around the quality/accuracy of the product versus price. If both options are the same price to the customer I would choose the plastic option as the mostly likely to produce the best model. If you think a resin/plastic model would be more like a miniature version of the real thing I'd be interested to know why.

@Rubicon - Which components would be resin in a combo kit and how do you see the relative pros and cons of each approach?

An optional two sprue kit is a good idea.

Thanks EWG. I'd forgotten that.

Are we going to be able to build the twin turret tank with either two machine guns or alternatively one machine gun and one cannon armed turret? Both would be nice and not involving much more plastic!

Great job. I note the twin turreted version didn't get a photo!

I hope producing models of real tanks hasn't become boring!

Okay. I'm convinced. Actually I'm pleased Rubicon is prepared to try different things.
