PANZERKAMPFWAGEN IV Ausf G GERMAN MEDIUM TANK DRAGON 1/35

This is the Dragon Models Smart Kit IV tank. I made it from March to May 2009.

I bought this kit as the box art was very attractive. G type has the long barrel and I made the D type of this tank which has a short barrel one and a half year ago.

Dragon’s kit is easier to assemble than Tristar because of not many part split-ups. Time hangs a lot of the trank roller that is the feature of the IV tank.

You can choose the variation of attaching increase armor or not. I put all armors as the tank is safer and better.

A lot of OVM has attached outside the car. A spare trank roller on the left of the vehicle and a spare caterpillar of the front is nice looking.

You can choose smoke grenade launcher on loading ammunition and after launching, both styles.

I had painted basic in dark yellow before the camouflage winter. This photo is like the Afrika Corps.

This crew is wearing a heavy coat, it seems impossible to operate a tank in the turret. No easy moving!

I blew white, slightly to remain thinly the basic color of dark yellow.

IV tank G type was completed. The G type equipped with the long barrel 7.5cm gun has more power than the D type.

The winter wear takes up much space in this hatch.

Only the muffler has become muddy and rusty though I didn’t do weathering so much. I attached only one wire rope but scheduled two pairs. The metal wire was hard and not to be attached with good shape.

I think that the caterpillar of the IV tank is just moderate tense as this photo, not loosening too much. When it is in the snowfield, I presume the camouflage effect of such a body is excellent.

The figure was combined the resin head and the one of the Mini Art tank crew. I tried to paint it like leather.

I hesitated heavy weathering, the camouflage stood out much if I put the chipping a little on white.

Since decal had carefully cut out the blank, almost no silvering was occurring.

It should not be so pure-white and thinks that I may have a change a little more.

Marking is Panzer Lehr Division. A spare caterpillar has no rust, this time, finished up blackish.

A winter camouflage German tank is beautiful. Next time, I would like to make an acentric shape tank.
