Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. H

 

Used kit: PzKpfw Ausf.H by Revell 1/72 scale
Used accessories: Extratech & Part

I completed my Revell kit with Extratech driver’s compartment interior set but I added some scratchbuilt parts /pedal wall, bins atc./. I also completely scratchubuilt turret interior as well as in the hull under. I also used Extratech engine set but in fact the engine itself is original. I used also radiator but modified according to references because original part includes bottom grill only (?). Filters are completely scratchbuilt because originals are too small. Pulleys are also new. The most problematic parts of the engine set are fans. They are absolutely unusable and therefore I had to scratchbuid new ones /see photo/. I had to add also new wall between engine and crew’s compartment because Extratech engine is designed for Hasegawa kit not for Revell one. Exterior of the model is detailed with Part etched stets (fenders, handles, tools atc.) Shurzen additional armor sheets are by Extratech. Barrel is machined of aluminum. All hatches are new scratchbuilt. Camouflage schema as well as marking is done according to instructions. Decals are original from the Revell kit.

I tried to build my Pz.IV as much as possible according to real vehicle. Few photos below show you the result. It took me about 360 hrs to complete this model.
