Grand fiddly little constructionism there John ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) Thanks Paul !
Still a lot to be done on both tanks. I want to balance my work between both kits, my goal is to finish them at the same time, so I will do the painting and weathering at the same time. Simply because I want to start the Ausf.C 's at the same time and do a detailed side by side comparison build of that version.
But as you can imagine... a lot of work to be done.
HobbyBoss Panzer IV Ausf.B , working on one side of the suspension first. ![](https://i.ibb.co/KrSLZtx/5431.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/dLRrgQd/5432.jpg)
Dragon Panzer IV Ausf.A , I added the tool box, but now there's some PE work ahead that will slow me down for sure... Also 2 types of tires provided. I added some parts to the bottom of the tank, I also gave a last coat of paint on the wheels
That's it for today !

![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Hobby Boss are crazy, there is no need to split the turret up like that ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) This time I blame it on Tristar, since they are Tristar's sprues. But yes, I agree, no need to split it like this... perhaps they were planning on doing later versions before going bust.
I think they did only 3 versions, Ausf.B, Ausf.C and Ausf.D and a Ausd.D Tauchpanzer.
I still have a C version from Tristar to do, I'll check if they do the same crazy process ( these brands should ALWAYS see how Tamyia does things... )

Thanks Jeff !!!
Thanks Ian !!!
I'm trying to work a little on both since I want to get them finished at the same time because the next ones Ausf.C's, I want to build those two (Tristar & Dragon) side by side, showing the main differences on both kits.
So today, I only worked on the Ausf.A , this one has the hull almost done, still missing all the tools and the PE that comes with it. Turret is painted and got the decals already. I worked on the wheels and started cleaning up the tires. Some wheels need a touch of paint, and also painting all the tires.

So... well a lot to be done here, I'm not even half way there..

Panzer IV Ausf.A
- Some wheels and tires needed some touch up paint job. - Added the tools on one of the side fenders, just missing the Jack now, - Hull was ready for Primer. - I also ended up with a coat of Brown paint, masking in a few days and then the Panzer Grey color.
![](https://i.ibb.co/QK7S45Y/6482.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/0B1c7mv/6483.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/sRRVv3W/6484.jpg)
So this one still needs :
- Finishing up the Jack. - Panzer Grey Color, - Clear Coat & Decals. - Dirt on the lower hull. - Wheels & Tracks - Painting Tools & exhaust, cables. - Light weathering.
I hope to get the Ausf. A and Ausf.B finished this Summer, I really want to start the 2 Ausf.C 's .
