Another long running project was to finish this model of a Panzer IV in Normandie. I used the Italeri re-issue of the old ESCI set.
And I must say, it was not nice but rather fiddly to build this model.
The brackets for the side skirts, for example, did not fit at all.
I also don't like assembling the chain from the individual parts at all anyway - I probably just can't do it properly or I have no patience.
In any case, I left the model for a long time and finally finished building it.
I am quite happy with the camouflage and the weathering. Again, I tried a new combination of different techniques and products, which was quite ok in my eyes. I am happy to receive advice.
But in general, this is not a model I would recommend. Correct me if you have also built it and see it differently. I will now take the time to build a base and the crew.
