Title: Romanian T-4 Medium Tanks (second tank added)
Post by: jamesvalentine on July 01, 2019, 06:06:22 pm

Model: Rubicon 1/56th Panzer IV Ausf F/F1/G/H:
Absolutely beautiful kit. Some accessories off their 1/56th Panzer IV D/E.
Very much closer to a scale model than a wargame piece due to parts count and options.

Decals: Company B Romanian crosses:
...Absolute garbage...trash...avoid at all costs.
If anyone has good UK accessible recommended alternatives in 72nd, 56th and 48th scale please do let me know.
Or as begged numerous times RUBICON WE NEED YOU!!!

Model:Rubicon 1/56th Panzer IV Ausf J
another great kit. Again some accessories off their 1/56th Panzer IV D/E.
Also very much closer to a scale model than a wargame piece due to parts count and options and etched steel.
small issue was the "frame" mounting. it goes under the mud skirts and can make fitting the tracks on afterwards very difficult if you paint them separately like I do.
its left them ever so slightly crooked by a degree or so. not noticeable on the table. but it is there.
this came out allot dirtier and grimy than I was aiming...but I don't mind.

Huh...so apparently wargames illustrated want to use my Panzer IV's in a newsletter as "Rubicon are pants at supplying photos of their own products"...cool!
