Thanks Phil. I must mention the fasteners used for fitting the brass etch running boards. Instructions advise gluing in place. I have secured using 10BA round head slotted screws secured with 10BA nuts. Looks much better. These were from EKP supplies

Still working on fittings and details on hull. Lots of features on the Panzer IV to keep you busy.

Here are more photos of progress. When the hull details other than the shurzen brackets are finished I will move onto the Turret.

Working on some parts for detailing the turret hatches and view ports

John Fitzsimons · Post by **John Fitzsimons** » Tue Jun 17, 2014 1:48 am

Some more work done on the turret side hatch view ports. still some small parts to add like the head guard.

I have molded in the fixing bolts but I might filet them off and attach the view port with screws instead.

More details added to
the cupola but still lots more to do. The view ports will have removable glass blocks, (clear resin)
I made just a small mold to work out best way to produce the parts from which I was able to complete the parts for my cupola. Depending on level of interest I might make a mold to produce multiple sets.

Thanks Paul,

Just back from holiday and starting to fit the side hatch detail parts. I still need to add the head guards to side hatch view ports, I will add these to my list of parts available but numbers may be limited. Also production of the cupola view ports will depend on level of interest.
