The Panzer IV Digital Library - PzIV Ausf H Painted 190816

Is it the paint job or the lighting  , but the turret details ( side doors / vision ports ) on the G/ H aren't as crisp as the ones on the D/E ? Aside from that , awesome looking

Last of the Panzer IV kit from our Panzer IV Digital Library project... an Ausf J!










Just a recap of what the standalone Thoma wire-mesh armour looks like:



Enjoy!

This looks very good - it could almost pass for a larger scale model.  I see that you kept the poison gas detection panel on the turret ventilator.  That's a bit annoying, as it will have to be carved off.

I see that you kept the poison gas detection panel on the turret ventilator.

This is also present in the technical drawings in the Spielberger book, as well as on most 1/35 model kits.  We keep it there just in case people wanted it; otherwise, as you stated, can be carved off easily.

The turret roof also seems to be missing the 3 Pilze sockets which were standard on the Ausf J. There is something there, but it doesn't seem to be the right shape. These are clearly shown in the blueprints you seem to be relying on so heavily.

Fourth product from our Panzer IV Digital Library project... a resin conversion kit merging two plastic kits into a new vehicle (also a conversion in real-life) - the 88mm Flak 36 auf PzKpfw IV Ausf H.









Enjoy!

Nice.

Will they be released as three kits (tank, 88 and resin hull)?

No idea yet.  Probably as a bundle on our own webstore when they are available.

Panzer IV Ausf F1 TS2 painted for display!  Also, included the fore-armour as options.
The fore-armour added 20mm thick armour plates set in front of the turret and body armour for added protection.





















Enjoy!

Very nice

[EarlyWarGamer]

Yes, very nice!

Most excited for the "D" so I can have the right one rolling through France in 1940. But the "E" and the "F1" are welcome too!

[ultravanillasmurf]

Nice.

[Ballardian]

 Lovely I guess I'm doing early war as well now then...

[Pinky]

I will definitely get a couple of these.

Rubicon - could you suggest that your painters cut down on the mad chipping effects?  It's become really distracting, and doesn't look anything like real weathering.  This one looks as though it's been peppered with small arms fire.

We always think "out-of-the-box" to create the most enjoyable kit for modellers and gamers alike.

No more frustrating assembly with those tiny schürzen frames on the Panzer IV (and on the Panzer III too).

We have designed and created an ONE PIECE schürzen frame and assembly tool that will make schürzen assembly a breeze, yet with all the fine details intact!

BTW, true to our original Panzer IV kit, the schürzen is STILL removable too!









Besides the side schürzen, the turret schürzen also have a jig to ease assembly too!



Enjoy!
