Well here it is. [:D] Only took me nearly a month of off and on building but I finally got it done. This is Hasegawa’s Jagdpanzer IV late version. There are a couple of things missing from it such as the periscope, have no idea what happened to it and the front tow hooks. Learned the hard way not to squeeze the tweezers to hard [banghead]. Fortunatly the instructions said they were optional anyway. The paint job could have been better [], not used to trying to spray such fine lines and all plus I had never done free hand. Let me know what you think of it, can’t say for sure if I’ll try this small scale stuff again though. A friend gave me this one but did’nt know it was so small, was pretty suprised when he saw it the other day.
Threw the quarter in it so my brother would see the difference in scales.
Main thing I figured out was it’s a PITA to put the tracks on after the top hul section is glued on. Looks like sometimes you really have to follow the instructions.
Doesn’t look too bad at all Chris … I know I wouldn’t want to be working in this scale again. In your third pic, your tracks look a little pigeon toed, not sure if you can straighten that out at this point or not.
Do like the camo job that you’ve done. Looks good !!!
Thanks Robert. I tried to fix the trak but I believe that is the result of putting them on after the top hull. Things were starting to crack and pop the more I tried to fix it so I just left it alone.
It looks real nice Chris. It’s kinda hard working on this scale at first specially if your used to do the bigger ones but I guess you’ll get used to it. Nothing a little weathering couldn’t fix.[:D]
Looks good Chris!! Especially for 1/72. The camo came out fine I think and over all good build. I won’t even try 1/72, nope, no way, no how, a mans’ got to know his limitations!! [:D]
Thanks everyone. Guess the camo ain’t that bad after all. Maybe it’s true about being your worst critic. I might try another brail scale one day , once my wife saw it she said thats all i should build since it don’t need much room.
Hey Chris, You did a pretty good job on that lovely little kit…! Other than the track that Robert mentionned, nothing to complain about. It’s all praises from me! Well done. Hope your experience was not too bad that you’ll never do more 1/72 - 1/76 again…! LOL
