Ad Lav 367 Posted March 30, 2016 With the sale of my Hummer recently, I decided to purchase another Tamiya full option tank... This time I went with the Panzer IV Turned up today, very happy, lots of nice goodies inside! My plan is to model it on a Syrian Amry version. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Novastar 241 Posted March 31, 2016 Sounds like an interesting and unique plan, I don't think I've seen one of these in RC scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ad Lav 367 Posted April 6, 2016 Managed to gather some more research and order a dshk. Some scratch building required in this one which will make a nice change Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ad Lav 367 Posted April 11, 2016 HL dshk from a ztz off eBay arrived - built and filled/primed. Muzzle drilled. Going to test fit this with the scratch cupola and mount before I commit to the shapeways one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamesssb 237 Posted April 12, 2016 How much was the tank mate? I have been after one of these for a while but can't get one cheap enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ad Lav 367 Posted April 12, 2016 They are damned expensive still, and tamiya have just put prices up for this year too. They're rare hence the price. Hummer paid for this so wasn't too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
