I got the roadwheel forest ready to go as well as the shurzen panels assembled.I will give the Quick Wheel Mask a shot,I figured for 36 wheels it was worth a shot plus I got more IV'S in the stash.

Looking very nice so far.

Will be interested to hear what you think of the wheel masks, especially if you use them on Panzer IVs from different manufacturers.

Wow. Camo looks spot on.

Question: Did you use the Vallejo Panzer yellow by itself? No other paint over that... other than the brown, of course?

Thanks,wheelmasks were okay,I'm finding that nothings perfect.
Yes just the Vallejo base dark yellow.Some have said it's too dark,maybe it could be lightened before weathering.

Thanks Tojo72. I have considered the masks myself, but have been hesitant. I make my own with a compass cutter and tape and can make circles or rings depending on how and what I want to paint. It is a little time consuming, but not too bad.
As far as the paint, I have heard complaints of it being slightly greenish. I used it on my last German armor build and thought it was ok. Especially once camo colors and weathering are applied. I may experiment with it a bit more and compare it to Vallejo's Model Air Dunkelgelb and see how it looks.

I got this one done a couple of days ago.It was a good straightforward build.I managed to get the gunners periscope back on.I chipped up the shurzen and used some AK Streaking wash,and dusted the tracks,roadwheels,and the lower hull and shurzen with some Mig Pigments.

I should have stuck with my Tamiya mix on the Dunklegelb as I think the Vallejo got too dark after weathering,or maybe just lighten the Vallejo.

Thanks for checking in.

Way too cool!!!

Nice to see this one cross the finish line Anthony! It's always hard to gauge with a new color how it will respond to the usual weathering process but now you know for the future. Looks good from here.

Looks just fine. Tough looking little brute.

[charleygnarlyp290]

That is one trick vehicle. It turned out really nice... one of my favorites.

[martslay]

Very, very good!!!

Very nice finish Anthony!

Good job, Anthony.

I have a soft spot for this tank type and your model looks impressive too, I can't take my eyes of your camo spraywork, it can't be done better imo.

[wouter]

I like it Anthony, personally I don't think it looks too dark at all.

Cheers
