Thanks Ian !!
It's one of those Dragon kits, a lot of detail everywhere but you have to double check everything every time....
I worked on the fenders today,
Here, part N20, on both rear fenders, is a perfect match on one side and doesn't fit on the other side... go figure... I had to cut it...

Lovely work there again John ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) . I always bin those plastic springs and make my own from thin copper wire, wrapped around 0.4mm drill bit ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

No mistaking those tiny Dragon parts on that instruction sheet! I know Ian, that why I go slow on these Dragon kits, today I added 2 more tools and started the turret, ![](https://i.ibb.co/k4X9xgm/4141.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/tX2BpNB/4142.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/mXxV7mj/4143.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/fSDyVzG/4144.jpg)

Looking fine, John, and starting to see that distinct Pz.IV shape come alive. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png)

Thanks everyone !!!
Small update, I've been a little lazy lately I admit, so just worked on the turret of the Ausf. A .
![](https://i.ibb.co/XY0GcCf/4174.jpg)
I'm not going to bother with the inside of the turret parts, since all hatches will be closed, no crew, no interior. Still a few parts to finish the turret. Running gear and top hull need a few weeks of work too...

There is nothing wrong with that plan John ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . If the hatches are all closed, then why bother adding the inner parts ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)
