Build Review... Tamiya's Panzer IV Ausf.F

We work through Tamiya's (mostly) new 1/35 Panzer IV, outlining the history of the vehicle and showing how to paint and weather the model as well as how to finish the crew figures.

Great video! This looks like a nice kit - typical Tamiya easy-to-build kit. A couple of points... By the time the Ausf. F was in production, tanks due to go to Africa were being painted tropical colours in the factory, and while the grey hatch interiors were absolutely seen after the switch to tropical colours, for some reason many DAK tanks had off-white (elfenbein) hatch interiors.

Today I found your channel suddenly. It's excellent work. Also, the finish is so realistic. I subscribed and would like to watch your video more. Thanks for sharing and stay safe please. Greetings, NOB

Awesome video!! Love seeing your videos and love your shop!

[@kenjohnston8173]

Xf paint is both acrylic and lacquer, depending on thinner, its a hybrid

[@jmartin9865]

Great video! I just ordered this and planned to build out in grey, but after watching your video I like the dark yellow too. I may have to order a second and do both!

I would like additional sprues to make an ausf B or C. And a retooling of their ausf D/E version.

[@texascanuk]

Very nice build!

[@DavidG62]

Great job

[@Jackdaw5]

One point you may wish to consider. You've painted it as an Afrika Korps vehicle but the crew are in European clothing. They would have been issued tropical clothing - as worn by the crew of Tamiya's own PzKpfw IV F2. Apart from that, nice work.

[@WheelsWingsTV]

Yes, it is a DAK camouflage, but according to the instructions this vehicle was deployed to the Eastern Front.

[@Jackdaw5]

@@WheelsWingsTV Yes, you're right. Apologies - my mistake! It looks good and now I can use the figures on mine too. :-)

Great build . SS and Army panzer uniforms did differ in cut as well as insignia, though this is hardly detectable in 1/35. Army had a diagonal cut to front and SS was a straight down cut. Collars were cut different also the SS being smaller and rounded at ends.

[@kenjohnston8173]

I have pic of rommell and tank crew on top of a dak tank, and they definitely not in black

[@jyrkihirvonen6055]

Nice build, but you forgot to paint the inside of the tracks where the wheels keep them clean and polished.

[@AdamMann3D]

There were inly 38 and 40 cm. People, myself included have called them 36cm and 38cm which is wrong.
