Re: Panzer IV F1 (No. 19)
Hello,
in the last days I could finish the sprocket and the first cap for the wheels. The cap isn't in the final position. I attached the storage box to the turret and milled the gunners vision ports. At least I modified the hinges at the front.
the sprocket
the wheels cap
storage box without cover
modified hinges
wholes closed at the cupola
gunners vision ports

Re: Panzer IV F1 (No. 19)
Hello,
in the last days I could do much progress with my Panzer IV. I finished much things with the gun (outside turret) and the turret. I soldered a new cover for the stowage box and made new hinges for the cover.
The backside of the hull is nearly finished.
gun with antenna bumper
pins added
cupola nearly finished
new cover for the stowage box
hull back detailed
the exhaust ist still missing. I will build a new one, because the exhaust from the kit is to small
welds are still missing
new details for the drivers and operators hatches
Next will be some welds and some paint for the hull.

Re: Panzer IV F1 (No. 19)
Hello,
yesterday I forgot to make pictures from the hatches at the hull sides and at the back. I have milled them by using a 3D-drawing. The hatches are milled in one piece and can not be opened. If there is any interest in the hatches, let me know, I could produce a prototype for casting.
Today I soldered the brackets for the exhaust. I will renew the exhaust, because it is to small. i hope that I will get the ordered brass tube for makeing the new exhaust.
Simon, I try to do my best, but every day when I study pictures of the original tank I find new details

Re: Panzer IV F1 (No. 19)
The profiles of those hatches are perfect. I am willing to have a go at casting a working set in white metal if you are interested. The panzer IV has so many little details. It will keep you busy for a long time.
If interested in any parts used in my builds contact me at johnfitzsimons@msn.com for a price list.

Gunter, your Pz IV is looking great. Love the F1 turret.
Since you are adding all that detail are you going to put the correct bolt pattern on the transmission cover.
Here is what I did to mine.

Mike,
yes I will change the pattern also. At the front of the hull I have still many things to do. Which version did you built?

John,
if you like a working hatch, I could mill the parts seperately and with or without the two bolts as a prototype.
the prototype will be in plastic.

Re: Panzer IV F1 (No. 19)
Impressing work Günter, well done!
Follow your build with interest, thanks for posting.
One tiny observation ...
Please note that the fuel filler ports on the Panzer IV were only on the LHS and not on both sides.
Keep up the good work
Kind regards
Kent

Kent,
thanks for the information! I found it out today too, when I studied pictures and drawings (H. L. Doyle) . The hatches on the right side are already removed.
