Your paint job is first class Martin.
I have a lot to learn here, I personally find it very difficult to paint wood. So it looks good.

The next will be the elevation mechanic for the barrel.
It is the same like in my other tanks before, but only a little smaller at some points, because the place in the turret of the Panzer IV is not so big.

In the meantime the weathering goes on and the cover of the hull is closed.

At the inside is not very much place for the mechanic of the elevation and the recoil units.
On the last photos there is some weathering at the doors of the turret.
