Hi Guys, I have received some of the 1:18 Europe-only Panzer IV´s yesterday. If anybody wants to see some pictures just write me an email and I will send some. Or alternatively you can see some at
www.heo.de
They are sold for about 69 Euro (=80$) here and if I got it right they are (just like the Pips Priller FW-190) european exclusives and won´t be sold in the US or any other country outside europe. However they are pretty nice items! If anybody needs some let me know, I am glad to help and since I am constantly looking for some airplanes for my own collection we may trade some items
Greetings from Germany C00per.

Cool! That's a first report. I take it that it has the schurtzen on it, right?
Thanks for the heads up!

Awesome! Glad to see that the European exclusive stuff is starting to show. Bodes quite well for 21c's credibility and international sales, but the product sure is expensive compared to the US version of the tank. Hopefully this will sell well in Germany and elsewhere.

COOper, thanks for the intel. Im glad to see 21st Cent. toys moving into the European market. The Euro exclusive is one many of us have been wishing for. The21st Cent. Panzer IV that came out in the States was the Panzer IV Ausf J having turret armor but no schurzen. The Ausf H and J were more or less the same tank, it seems the H had Schurzen.
I just like the look with the side armor and maybe we'll get one over here.
Welcome to the site and have fun collecting.

well, it seems schurtzen cannot be put down so if you want to do a battle damaged one with missing parts, you will need some sharp tools...

i imagine the schurtzen are just plastic, so removing a panel or two should be pretty straight forward, no? As should heating and bending them if so desired....
Looking forward to getting a schurtzen variant over here..

looks like the rails are parts of the shurtzen so you will have to redo the rails.
