Romanian T-4 medium tanks 1/56th (second tank added)

[JamesValentine]

Model:Rubicon 1/56th Panzer IV Ausf J
another great kit. Again some accessories off their 1/56th Panzer IV D/E.
Also very much closer to a scale model than a wargame piece due to parts count and options and etched steel.
small issue was the "frame" mounting. it goes under the mud skirts and can make fitting the tracks on afterwards very difficult if you paint them separately like I do.
its left them ever so slightly crooked by a degree or so. not noticeable on the table. but it is there.
this came out allot dirtier and grimy than I was aiming...but I don't mind.

 I like it a lot, excellent work.

Nice work.

The skirts look suitably lived in.

This is one of the three new Panzer IV kits.
This one is built from the F/F1/G/H kit.

The other two are the D/E and the J

Thanks. Do the wheels still come as inner and outer (the outer attached to the tracks) as the original kit?

That's fantastic work on the second tank

strangely its the inner that are attached and the outer you glue on.
this leaves a little bar between each wheel which you'd have to cut off if you want it to not be seen.
it doesn't bother me as you can hardly tell.
but still an odd choice.

Very nice, the mesh skirts came out very well, I like the way you've bent some of the panel corners - as there are so many pics of the skirts mangled in such a fashion

One of the great things about Rubicon is they have their assembly instructions on line.

Though a hazard to pick up.
Torn jagged thin metal is a nightmare XD
