Pzkpfw IV ausf. F2 - DAK - 9-9-13 finaly tracks on

[406 Silverado]

This I blame Gary for. ..lol.

I started this kit some time ago and not sure when, maybe 2 years. It was to be placed on the sd 116 trailer I was working on. I had stopped I think because of the interior I had started. I am going to leave the interior as is and not add anything else so that I can get this done and painted using the AK DAK color set.
I will get some pics up later of this one, AND the PZ IV ausf G version that I also started.

In progress;

Looking forward to seeing some pics Rob .Seems Gary is getting blamed for a lot of builds lately.

[406 Silverado]

CS this time it's Gary's fault for sure.

OK you pic mongers, gonna snap a couple in a minute, just got done working the fenders.

7-1-13 update


As mentioned above most of the work seen here was done some time ago and I only worked on the suspension,exhaust and fenders today. I am working on the G version at the same time and it was slow going with all the cleaning up of the what seems like hundreds of parts. With the two suspensions done it's smooth sailing from here on out.

I will start a thread on the G some time soon when there is progress to show.

Some fine looking battle damage Boss .Nice detail inside the turret and interior.

LOL Rob! Your about as bad as me! I have another Sherman shelf queen I was going to post. Bang it out and paint me some Olive Drab!

[406 Silverado]

Thanks for checking in on this one Leon, and for the comment.

John..lol..got a couple of sherman queens to finish off. bag it out sounds good, then get right to the fun part eh.


Well I tried to get some paint on the interior but due to the moisture I got nothing but spatter right from the start. Was hoping to get some paint on the inside so I could get this closed up and add the fiddly stuff on the outside. Guess I'll clean some wheels and work on the G version.

I remember this one! Glad to see Gary's spark did the trick to get it moving again Rob.

[deafpanzer]

Great work! Please PROMISE us just ONE thing... don't post a pic of you wearing Gary's kiltutu. It will turn many MSC fans away...

[fightnjoe]

rob i dont know how big that bench is of yours but i would love to have it in my house. with all these builds going it has to be 30 to 40 feet long.



joe

[406 Silverado]

Bill, lol yeah it's been a while eh.

Andy....not a chance bro, the kiltutu is all Gary's thing.

Joe I wish it were that long. It's only 7 feet but I only use 3' of it, the rest is used as a catch all. I keep the queens in boxes or containers on the shelves or cabinets. I usually only have up to three built models in the cabinets but right now there's quite a few....ebay time. The IV is my all time favorite and it was loooong overdue that I finally finished one.

[bullardino]

Gary, great job on reviving this build

Rob, can't wait to see the paint on this one

[TRM]

That's the ticket there Brotha'! IV and damage..Woo Hoo!! Off to look for a J right now!! LOL!! Grabbing a snack and hanging out for the show!

[Deleted]

It's been over two years. You mentioned this one when we were discussing my PzIV F(F1) DAK and that's been three years at least.

Looking good.

G

[406 Silverado]

Luigi, soon I hope.

T, that's the ticket bro. I have the G going, slowly, so we can start a duel if you want.

G, yeah I figured it was that long ago...lol. Maybe now I will FINALLY get her done.

[406 Silverado]

Just a small update since I really haven't done much at the bench the past few days. I managed to get some paint on the interior, just enough to show it burned. I buttoned up the model and have added some small parts and cleaned the wheels.These pics were taken the other day and I have since then added a few mare parts, but nothing major worth taking more pics.

[TRM]

Coolness Boss!! Nice to see some color go inside!! OMG, you are making me salivate for a PZ IV....BAD!! LOL!!! Keep it coming my friend!! Good stuff all around!!

[ogrejohn]

Looking all nice and burny on the inside!

[Leon]

Nice job on the burn effects Boss.I am really liking the cut away look.

[wbill76]

Looks like it got quite toasty inside there. Nice work on the rusty/burned areas as usual Rob.

[Tojo72]

Boy Rob,I really like your pieces of junk,should be another good one.

[fightnjoe]

looks airconditioned to me.

nicely damaged sir.



joe

[tobias5555]

Looking very good.

[406 Silverado]

Tobias Thanks for checking in and the comment.

Bill , Thanks brother and yeah a bit toasty in there. The exterior will be more blackened and charred with very little rust.

Tojo, yep the junk pile gets bigger and bigger.

Joe, AC in a German tank, high tech for the time...lolol

Leon, Not quite up to speed with jackwagon's cut a way, but I like the idea..lol Thanks for checking in bud.

T, my man, you know you want to dig into to one..lol I have to one the shelf just waiting to be built. I am thinking since I have so many leftover Dragon IV parts, I may have to grab a couple of the earlier DML Imperial series kits and use the parts on them, god knows the upgunned D has a ton of leftovers.

[deafpanzer]

Way to cool boss! Remind me not to show this to my boys or they will use the remaining M-80 firecrackers on my kits...

[Deleted]

I smell paint that looks burnt !

Right on Rob ! (60's talk for cool )

[406 Silverado]

Thanks for stopping by Carl, and for the comment bud.

Ok most of the parts are on. Still have to add the jack and some spare tracks. Took about an hour to find the spare links that go on the RO side of the tank. Searched high and low for it then finally found them in the shed. I started the one track run and have the other side still to do.

Thought I'd take a quick pic of the F2 on the trailer.

[bigjohn]

Looking good Rob!

[Leon]

That is looking sweet bro.I likey.

[wbill76]

Man that looks great on the trailer Rob, keep this one moving!
