Panzer IV Variations ?
I have way too much stuff going on but is there still any interest in the Panzer and it's multitude of variations ?
I have plenty of Tigers and Panthers but not a lot of Panzers.
I am not sure how much they are selling on the open market , but I am sure the prices are up there possibly making these customs a thing of the past.
I tried to find the cheapy nock off panzers but could not find any of those .
Is this another idea that will die on the vine or is there interest ?
If this does come to life it will probably be after the first of the year .
I have projects lined up one after the other after the Jagdpanther.

Re: Panzer IV Variations ?
I would go for the usual choices such a stug 4 or a Jagdpz 4. If I found a real cheap source for Pz4s,a Brumbiar(sp) would be nice . I currently have stashed away enough Pz4s to do a early war D model, an Africa Korp F1-F2 or G model and an H model. My Dad has one more I gave him that I might be able to talk him out of.

Re: Panzer IV Variations ?
The only problem I see is locating 21st Panzer IV's.
Some time ago I found this site....This is what happened to 21st's Panzer IV.
http://www.eworldtoy.com/1recoelmitaw1.html
http://www.eworldtoy.com/rcbattletanks.html
I had ordered 3, they are better than nothing.
With a little work removing those fenders its the 21st Panzer IV but the rubber tracks
are far less detailed.

I already have the prints for the Jaeger .
I would like to do the Ostwind but I would have to make the full interior and another gun.

Re: Panzer IV Variations ?
I´m in contact with some german collectors and one of them wants to get a Wirbelwind very badly. He´s interested in the KT and T34 too. Let me know what´s possible.
In my collection I´m missing a STUG very badly.

Re: Panzer IV Variations ?
They all can be had now except the Wirblewind . Too many things going on now so I can not get back to the Wirble right now.Crazy Kraut wrote:I´m in contact with some german collectors and one of them wants to get a Wirbelwind very badly.

Well looking at the Jagdpanzer the fighting cab will sit on top of the Panzer hull looking to be not modification.blitzhazed wrote:very interested in sturmgeschutv & l48 & l70 would you do full top half builds so we don't cut up hard to find iv s
There will also be a plate of armor that will cover the front tranny .
So I do believe no cutting what so ever !!

Re: Panzer IV Variations ?
Do not know if anyone on here will be interested or not, but on this topic I am currently molding out the Stug IV right now, as I was building the whole vehicle but decided it would cheaper, and easier on people to get one with only doing the top hull. I should have it done and up for sale in a few weeks.
If any interest from anyone on here when they are done just let me know.
post some pics of it soon.

Re: Panzer IV Variations ?
Congratulations Studly, they're not that easy to find and at that price.
I like the series 1 and European Exclusive Panzer IV's better than the RC Panzers.
The RC Panzers have those little black pins in the center of the drive sprocket, idler wheel, road and return wheels.
While series 1 and Euro Panzer look more realistic.

Dang what a great idea!!! Being old school, I still have a hand operated hole puncher.
Thanks for the tip Pickel!
