With over 3000 parts, this is not a build you do in a week

*edit* what is GMI?

 

[GyverX]

Looks like fun, But could you pronounce the name

 

[dansls1]

How many parts does it get 'down to' if you use the laser tracks?

 

[cgutzmer]

EASY! pzzzzzzzzzzkipfew #4!

 

[josve]

The name is Panzer 4

Or Panzerkampfwagen 4
P z K pfw 4

If I use the lasertracks I guess the parts count will be about the same or more...
This might be a build for the next year or two

Another enjoyable thread, I bet.

Go for it, Johnny!!!

 

[charliec]

or rather:

Sd. Kfz. 161/2 - Ausf. H

or Panzerkampfwagen IV (PzKpfw IVH)

I think the zimmerit (embossed) parts for GPM's Jagdpanther are much better than the Panzer IVH - I think I'd build the IVH with the standard parts - the artwork is really good and pretty convincing as a zimmerit finish.

Regards,

Charlie

I don't have the Jagdpanther, so I can't compare the zimmerit texture.
But when I'm going to build the IV-H I'm sure I will use the zimmerit sheet

Thanks for the review of this kit, Johnny.
This definitely looks like another, "must have", for the collection!
It is a beautiful tank without the zimmerit. That is an added bonus!8)
