Kit build with scratchbuilt modifications by Peter Bleasdale
The base kit was from Dragon.
Improvements / modifications to the kit are as follows:
- Added Tamiya Pz. Kfw. IV gun cleaning rods.
- Replaced one piece of the “C” section gun mount with a length of brass profile.
- Blanked off the radio operators visor with sheet plastic.
- Removed the incorrect radiator filler cap at the front bonnet.
- Replaced the two front lifting lugs with ones fashioned from an aluminium soft drink can.
Painting
The colour scheme & markings were inspired by Mirko. I used Tamiya Acrylics, kit decals and weathering pastels.
