I used some of the kit parts and added a few details to convert their Ausf A into a B for an Anzio piece. The tracks and sprocket are from the A, but I have some info that has the As swtiched over to Bs during production so I’m taking a little liberty here, figuring they would send some out with the older tracks if they had 'em.

The camo is free hand am I’m still having a little trouble, but this thing’s going to covered in mud so I’m not that worried on it.
Any and all comments and input extremely welcome.

Ausf,
it is great looking camo pattern, and nice built too.
where did you get that pattern?
cheers, tom

Thanks Tom,
I just did it, really didn’t look for references, I wanted to practice making fine smooth lines. I still get a bit of these tiny splatters around the edge, but by the time I’ve washed and weathered it, they shouldn’t be visible. I need practice, but I’m having fun.

That camo looks great to me buddy! Don’t muddy it up too much, really a fine start, ausf.
An unusual subject is always welcome, interesting! PS-any figures planned on this one?

The camo looks great rom here. That’s a Dragon kit? Don’t thnk I’ve ever seen it before. Real interesting. May have to add it to my growing stack.

I like that camo scheme. I just picked up the Revell-Germany version, and now Im really looking forward to it, looks like an interesting build.

Here is a interesting shot of a B IV-B. The driver was killed after driving over a mine. What is interesting is the fact that the explosive charge did not detonate from the concussion of the mine exploding, which tore a fairly sizable hole in the floor plate.

They even tested one of these using a TV camera for unmanned reconnaissance. Didn’t work to well, they kept breaking vacuum tubes while moving X-country.
