Panzer IV Ausf. J by Bernie Dietrich

This 1/35th Tamiya Panzer IV J was a weekend project for Bernie who put down four layers of  Vallejo paint and used the hairspray technique to expose the the magnesium base coat of the vehicle. The tank's ID numbers were painted using masks.

Panzer IV Ausf. F by Stew Langenbeck

Stew pulled out all the stops to create this Akrika Korps Panzer IV F1. He combined parts from Gunze Sangyo and Dragon kits as well as Griffon photo etch for Panzer IV F1, F2, and G variants. In addition, he added aftermarket sandbags, cupola, a CMK mantlet, and Archer weld seams. The figures were sourced from Dragon, Tristar, and Masterbox.

To augment the aftermarket additions, Stew did some major scratch building on the model.  He added armor to the hubs and inside the drive wheels, added detail to the interior of the turret, adapted AFV Club's articulated suspension to fit, scratch built rear storage racks and trays, and the base.
