AirfixModel Tank - A02308V Panzer IV, Plastic Model Kits for Adults & Kids 8+, 1:76 Scale, Skill Level 2, WW2 Theme Military Models, World War 2 Tanks

I remember as a Kid buying or rather parents buying for me and at that time nothing about Afrika Korps colors and so I built as is and now I can paint more accurately!! Not too easy to put together just need usual patience and to paint asl with a bit of light weathering and dust/mud covering rubber wheels anmd for a small model?? Good practice for larger 1/35 scales.. Too may new people just don`t have the patience and want things too easy judging by complaints here..

May require some effort to make it look good, but well wroth it. Been using these little cheap models to practice for doing a resin kit.

This model kit is missing 1/2 track pieces sadly.

Nice tanks for starters.

Good quality and fun

The size is clearly stated in the description of the item. Figure it out.

It was a fun, quick, and cheap little model to build, but the molds were very sloppy and the pieces did not fit very well

This was SIGNIFICANTLY smaller and less detailed than I expected, which explains why there is only a picture of the box, and not the finished product.The pieces fit LOOSELY together instead of interlocking.If I glue the wheels to the frame, as it seems is necessary, then they won’t turn and the tracks movement will be inhibited.One piece was connected to the parts frame in 8 locations, and snapped apart before being fully removed, even using precision clippers.

Llego muy bien. Las piezas perfectas

You need patience with the tiny parts. The plastic sprues are not near as good as tamiya but a doable model. The turret will need a better attachment solution as this one just pops into a hole in the turret ring without any fixing. The tracks assembly and painting were the worst. They eventually stick together but no point painting them before putting them on the wheels. Paint and primer just peels off. Had the same problem with a trumpeter kv-1 kit. Again, tamiya knows how to produce rubber tracks much better. All in all, you can build a tiny, cute panzer iv but you will need patience. The details on the hull are giod for some basic weathering.

As a kid I was heavily into Airfix models and particularly WWII armour and I built at least one Panzer IV in the 1970s. I have returned to modelling in the last few years and am about to build my first 1/35 scale armour project (PZIV J). I wanted to try assorted new painting techniques and 'butchery' but clearly didn't want to experiment on the new (expensive) project. The solution was to get this smaller scale PZIV, try the new methods and enjoy a trip down memory lane at the same time. The idea being to built a burnt out PZIV with some scratch built interior.The model arrived promptly and as was exactly as I recalled. There are a few things to be aware of. First the toolings must date back at least 40 years and several of the pieces have significant flash. Additionally the fine detail that is now expected is often missing. Finally, one of the tracks was 'miscast' and was missing about 5-7mm of track length. Might not sound much but given that the complete track is only marginally long enough to complete a circuit of the running gear (absolutely no chance for track sag) this short fall could be serious.The model itself goes together simply enough and happily fits reasonably well, very limited need for filler. The overall impression is a good solid smaller scale model with plenty of opportunity to play around with it. After painting, weathering and wrecking I am happy enough that it served it's purpose for me.I would unreservedly recommend it for either younger modellers who want to get into the hobby or indeed people like myself, returnees with a desire to develop new skills in a different genre.Bottom line, it was a lot of fun.
