Jeez! Robbing the other half's bobbins. You're a braver man than I am!! Great video as always.

Really liking these introduction video's, they have rekindled my love for the hobby and I'm amassing quite the stash! If in any way possible I'd love to see a series on a modern/cold war jet 👍

you're really improving your skills. Looking forward for more!

Nice work with the stowage. A lovely looking build

Great restoration ! Hope everybody is well ! Take care, Tony

nice job once again! I always had trouble positioning stowage realistically

Great video!!! 👍👍👍

nice job there my friend the stowage looks great well done and stay safe

Hi buddy your panzer looks cool really like the new color from tamiya looks pukka.thank you for sharing looking forward to your other videos coming. cheers Gary

From my experience it would have been a camo net holding it down...it was a part of their equipment they were required to have and it would have worked well... the stuff is hard to stow so alot of vehicles would permanently mount it to the outside... part of their tactics involved camp and storm which would mean camo nets, especially in 1942+

I bought the new Border Models T-34/76 in the special boxing and have to admit it's a REALLY nice kit !! track links no problem falling apart with a positive click and the working suspension really does work..really like the new Rye Fields T-34/85 too as I've started building it and realized so nice I better buy another one lol

I'd like to give those Infini boards a big thumbs up too, I'm such a butter fingers and they make it so easy, also v. useful for seatbelts

Glad you got your decals to work. I converted the old Italieri Pz.IV F into an E, but couldn't get their "3" onto the turret side. Went through 4 sets of decals without success. Model still sits unfinished after 30+ yrs!

Tamiya do the best paint in my opinion I love their olive green colour

Tamiya acrylic and mr color levelling thinners. A perfect match👍 (Tamiya lacquer and hataka lacquer are awesome as well😂)

@@epicforger12345 Give it a go👍 It’s fun to try out different thinners and paint. The levelling thinner slows drying for a shinier finish, normal for satin or rapid thinners which gas off quickly for a matt finish. These will pong more though so at least use a decent mask. Hataka lacquers are very good. They are just as good as Tamiya lacquer but the range is massive👍

IRL I used to turn Jerry cans around, handles on opposite sides. This was to denote full or empty.

Beautiful build and weathering effects. Would they have had a cover on the barrels to stop sand going down?

I believe the Jerry cans you used for water were US Jerry cans. The X stamped into the sides gives it away.

No. The jerry cans used are correct early WW2 German, not the U.S. jerry cans, which have an entirely different filler cap, both the fuel and water cans are completely different to the German version.

When you paint at the roadwheels use the wheel mask on the outside what about on the inside and the backside of the wheels Or do you just paint it all black on the inside

I would like to ask what kit this is ? Thanks for your time on the video and hopefully a answer . Keep up the great work

@ChampionScaleModelling I will have to add this kit to my list , it looks like a decent kit with things I haven't seen on other Dak panzer IV's . Thanks very much for the reply

What colors did you use for the axe’s handle?

So this is the later color RAL 8020? Does Tamiya have RAL 7027 to go with this? RAL 8000 with RAL 7008 is the early pattern?

Where can i get the Mr. Color leveling thinner and surfacer? I can't find it.

I found a bottle of it on eBay. Shipping took forever, somewhere overseas. It is tricky to find in the states, for some reason.

Shelf weed to shelf queen?

Really strange position for stowage. It's easy to hit it and jerry cans cover commander's and loader's views

It was always done on the panzer 3s it was only water not fuel though so they didn't need to worry about going up in flames like the British did in ww2 with the whippet tank! There was normally a feild made stowage rack welded on the turret for them too! Dragin include Linton some of there older DAK kits and some museums still show it! That munster museum with Hilary duff in KZread you'll see them on that channel the real thing if interested?

It’s just how they did it, it’s bizarre but there was only so much area to use and a lot to carry, plus it’s good cover for the commander for frontal small arms fire i suppose and they usually took the fuel cans off at the back before entering battle, i suppose you just had to hope you had that option of being the attacker and when an engine blew in a tank or you were hit in general in most cases it was a horrible death, especially in early Brit Tanks or the ‘Tommy Cookers’ as the Germans called them

I know it was done for real because I've seem photographs of it, but I can't halp thinking that it's a pretty dangerous way to carry fuel in action? One hit and you'd have blazing fuel drenching the whole of the turret and finding its way into the interior through all the numerous littes gaps and apertures. Of course if the commander happened to have his head out at the time it would be even worse for him and all concerned. Perhaps this was just a method for carrying fuel when not in action, on road-moves etc?

Well yes that would all be the case but these were mainly water cans, hence the white crosses on the cans. They rarely carried fuel in this way but may have if on a long haul way behind their own lines.

To clean looks like it just rolled out of the factory need some more work on to make it look real

No, they aren't. They arr correct early war German jerry cans. Do your research, people. Look at things and stop assuming things, the information is out there. It even says on the packet, Early version.
