Rye Field Model (RFM) 1/35 Pz. IV Ausf J kits 5033 (2 in1 ) & 5043 (full interior)
Whoa! Nice pic mate. As DP left his off on his 1/16th build I suspected the tops could be removed. He has a cover part pulled back on his forward vertical ammo storage behind the driver. At least you get a choice. You are correct, Z12 is the inner final drive moulding not the sprocket...- Panzerwrecker

Rye Field Model (RFM) 1/35 Pz. IV Ausf J kits 5033 (2 in1 ) & 5043 (full interior)
I've managed some more progress on the interior. With the main lower hull tub plates assembled and a few smaller components already added internally, in step 5 you are instructed to add the track guards. This is because both the engine firewall wings and the dividing fighting to front...- Panzerwrecker

Digital camera photo stacking. My first experience with dedicated software
Photo Stacking If you’ve never used this process, it’s well worth looking into. I recently read an article by a well-respected modeller on FB on how he had achieved some great results with a dedicated app. This modeller was well versed in taking great images already, but this was his first...- Panzerwrecker

Rye Field Model (RFM) 1/35 Pz. IV Ausf J kits 5033 (2 in1 ) & 5043 (full interior)
Moving on, we can definitely say there are at least two different sprue layouts offered with kit 5033. Whichever boxing you do end up with has absolutely no bearing on the ability to fully complete both variants offered. If you can add additional turret interior parts with what’s on the sprues...- Panzerwrecker

Cheers Paul OK , so one of your pages is identical to one of mine but the other page contents is completely different to mine (see below) Mine has the larger sprue R whereas, your smaller sprue R contains parts mine doesn't have! That means parts called out on my sprue R must be spread across...- Panzerwrecker

Rye Field Model (RFM) 1/35 Pz. IV Ausf J kits 5033 (2 in1 ) & 5043 (full interior)
These are the sprue contents I have on both kit's instruction sheets. 'S' denotes the same sprues in both kits and 'D' the difference to Sprue R in each kit **ignore the 'S' on the sprue labelled 'clear parts' on the kit 5043 sheet. They gave me an extra one which was nice but I'm confusing...- Panzerwrecker

Rye Field Model (RFM) 1/35 Pz. IV Ausf J kits 5033 (2 in1 ) & 5043 (full interior)
OK, so I've done much scouring off both the instructions and sprues of both kits (5033 & 5043) and not all the turret interior parts in interior kit 5043 are provided on kit 5033 sprues. Some are though, and I'll admit I did not notice them, as many have different part numbers and are located on...- Panzerwrecker

This 5033 Kit doesn't come with a full turret interior. Only kit 5043 provides it. This kit builds up a full breach, gun cradle and shell basket and there are three trays which although not called out, can be fitted to the rear of the turret, but that is it. The turret floor and a few other...- Panzerwrecker

What tank to build I never intended to model this build on any one specific vehicle, but it was now time to pick a unit, a theatre of war and a paint scheme. The build features incorporated on my build, especially the inclusion of the three return rollers, track return plate, central tow...- Panzerwrecker

Turret & tracks In step 21 we move on to the turret. The gun breach and cradle are a comprehensive assembly and no doubt feature due to their interior kit. Although not called out, a few other items from this interior kit can be found on various sprues trees. Unfortunately, the rotating turret...- Panzerwrecker

Mesh space armour (Drathgelflechtschurzen) It was now time to move onto the mesh space armour (Drathgelflechtschurzen). I will refer to them as D-Schurzen from now on;) The instructions steps 17 through 19 are once more divided to fit the appropriate fixings to each variant. The artillery...- Panzerwrecker

Upper Hull (Aufbau) In step 12 the upper hull front, side and top plates are built up. Again, the variants are divided, and different fittings added. In Dec 44 welded U-shaped lifting hooks on the front of the upper hull started to replace the bolted-on cast lifting hooks fitted to the sides...- Panzerwrecker

Although simple handles started to replace the original cast air intakes on each brake inspection hatch from around Feb 45, both types continued to be fitted...- Panzerwrecker

Kit 5033 build My plan was to build the gun tank variant, so after inspecting all the contents and making a note of what might be available, but not actually called out in the instructions, I started with step one. Lower hull (Wanne) and running gear. The hull tub consists of separate...- Panzerwrecker

The last time I built a Pz.IV was as a twin build after quite a number of new 1/35 scale Pz.IV's were released back in 2019. I compared one of them, Border models Ausf J kit Bt-008 with a mid-noughties Dragon kit, 6575, considered by many Pz.IV enthusiasts as one of their best. This time I...- Panzerwrecker

Mercedes L4500A (Zvezda) and Anhanger cargo box trailer (Azimut)
Afternoon peeps. I'm back in the room with this one whilst another project awaits some AM goodies. After starting to build and paint some accessories last year, I got side tracked, as I often do :rolling: so the truck and trailer were relegated to a nice dust free storage box. Last year I got...- Panzerwrecker
