discussion A shelf queen in hiding. Tamiya Jagdpanzer IV

[BattleshipBob]

Having a good old look at whats left of the once mighty stash, found this at the back of the metal shelving in the attic:rolling:

Its been started, but only added the rear panel and exhaust, no idea when i started or even stopped the build but it must be over 18 months ago.


Must have got this as well


Going to either use tri camo or disc camo, not sure?

But will modulate, chip, scratch, mud, dust, fuel leaks, battle damage etc

Very close to the end of the shelf queens, thankfully, all my fault of course

Sorry no cake, the cat eat it, honest :tongue-out3:

Looking interesting Bob. Not in the last bit Stug-like......

Well a bit bigger!

They did look at fitting this gun in to a StuG, but rather too long!

That I did not know. As you say not a short gun.

Well make sure I keep an eye on it..

I think the recoil would have knocked the rear wall out lol, plus the extra weight would have totally over loaded the already struggling torsion bars

No cake, no Stug, tied to a chair.... OK I'll stop only 'cos I like the IV.

Well, not a STuG.....colour me intrigued. I actually have an original Matchbox Braille scale one of these that I’ve had for over forty years.....no idea why I haven’t built it....

Hi Bob.....lucky you getting a stencil for the Disc Camo. When I did my Panther G it was one masking tape disc at a time until the beast was covered......a real PITA. I like both the Vomag and the Alkett iterations of this fighting vehicle.....I'll hang out at the back and keep the moggies from eating all the cake. Rick H.
