ACADEMY HOBBY MODEL KITSPanzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. H4 by

Bought this to build the final version panzer iv from the Girls und Panzer anime. A must watch for any model builder who also enjoys watching anime. Trust me, check it out and I guarantee you'll love it. I didn't see much point in buying the official kit as it was so expensive so went with this instead. I'm an experienced builder so for the most part it went together pretty easily and quickly but I did have have a little trouble getting the road wheels to go on but managed it with a bit more force than I would have liked. They definitely aren't coming back off any time soon so good thing I painted them beforehand. I also added some rivets to the armour and gave it a custom paint job to match the anime version and bought the matching decal set on eBay. I know others have had problems with this kit but I'm not much of a perfectionist and I'm used to fixing 'issues' with these cheaper kits so all in all I'm pretty pleased with with the finished model.

Bought as a cheap practice kit and other than the turret armor it went together really well. Might even get another at some point.

Not impressed with this kit. Looks like an old tamiya mold. You'll need to be comfortable with using filler

A great little model at a really good price,Ithink these are ex Tamiya moulds the academy stug 4,also. so it will be a good build.

Tamiya, the best as usual. Very good model.
