Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H, GPM 1:25

While I’m waiting for a friend to help paint the tracks, I’ve continued working on the model.

I started assembling the turret.
It has a simple shape and was straightforward to build.

The only adjustment needed was to the floor plate.

I also chose to laminate this part onto 0.5 mm cardboard rather than the recommended 1 mm, as it gave a better result.

As usual, the front plate was replaced with a Zimmerit version.

I assembled the loading mechanism - the internal part of the gun.
Nothing special here; the unit is quite simplified.

After the long and repetitive work on the tracks, everything now feels smooth and fast to assemble ;)

I have found that I cannot weld paper, it always catches fire!! Those are some really solid looking parts, and the joinery is fantastic. :)
