    A knocked out and generally bent, 1/35 Panzer IV. A trilogy

    This model has been languishing in a box up in the loft doing now't and would have stayed there, so I thought I'd have me some fun and wreck it....

    Here's the tank.

    After some very satisfying trashing, cutting off bits and opening out hatches, here's the result.

    I'll model it in N. Africa, Sicily, Italy, Miami, or the West Indies..... You take your pick, as it might, in all probability, be the wrong Mk., wrong colour and in the wrong location anyway.

    I'm just going to destroy it!

    Cheers,
    Ron

    Sounds like a smashing idea. I'll watch from the shadows as always.

            Welcome to the fun, chaps.

            "....master class build" Nah, no such beast, although there might be those who think they can in the model making world.....

            Anyway, don't get comfortable boys, it'll be a quick destruction/build kind'a thing.

            Cheers.
            Ron

                Interesting & intriguing Ron, looks like an Ausf H mid production, middle of 1943 build. Looks like it's being cut up for scrap!

                            Hi Ron
                            Most of us put the parts together to make a model but that's not the 'Ron way' - he takes a model and reduces it to parts :tongue-out3:
