Hi guys Im keeping the momentum going with my Panzer IV builds so next on my list was this kitbash . Wont be using much of the Hasegawa kit...mainly the turret along with a few other bits and bobs ..................................... ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/004600x450-30.jpg) I bought these two kits with the intent of making a decent Ausf G as the Hasegawa kit is really low par with Revell and Dragon . So I will be bashing these 2 together and hopefully coming up with this............................ ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/Pz-IV-G.jpg) Anyhoo I have started with the boring running gear procedure and will update with pics later. Cheers Deano

Hi guys and welcome aboard , things are moving along here and the running gear is complete ........... ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/001600x450-25.jpg) ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/005600x450-25.jpg) ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/004600x450-31.jpg) ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/003600x450-19.jpg) A bit more dramatic with the broken and changed out winterketten but Ive always like a used and abused look . Once these have settled I will paint the lower hull so I can join the upperhull and continue with the build. Hopefully it should get a little more interesting after that . Cheers deano

Thanks guys , yeah tis good not having to think about Zimm in this build Andy , cross referencing these vehicles will take up Zimm time lol. So more progress , managed to get the upper hull ready for mating with the lower............. ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/001600x450-26.jpg) ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/004600x450-32.jpg) ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/003600x450-20.jpg) ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/002600x450-23.jpg) Next is to paint the lower hull and underside of upper hull to continue with the build. Cheers Deano

Seeing the hull together with those WKs makes it look like a hockey player's smile who's about to retire!

Lovely work Deano. I must admit I really like the Revell Panzer IV. I'm currently converting the Ausf H one into a Flak panzer with an 88mm on top. Oh.. Where do you get the Maco? Winterketten tracks from? I've been after a set myself. Finding Braille scale alright to work with then?
Keep up the good work mate and horay for no Zimm!

Thanks fella's! yeah Bill it is a bit of a toothless wonder isnt it lol. James your conversion sounds cool , you must show photo's of the build ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Got the Maco tracks from Korea , bought two sets to make it worth the wait and it was ..... try the Ebay search engine ...... Yeah finding braille scale fun and really enjoying it . Cheers Deano

Hey guys time for a wee update to this one . Progress is good , mangaed to get the lower hull and tracks painted in prep for joining the upper hull........... ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/008600x450-22.jpg) ![](http://i610.photobucket.com/albums/tt183/Deano26/007600x450-15.jpg) Looking a bit wierd at the moment but should start looking better once the turret is completed. Got a fair bit of work still to do , also a few gaps to deal with on this build but nothing too heavy. Cheers Deano

Most excellent Deano. The two kits are looking like they fit fairly well. This may be something I will try. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
