Starting the other Ausf.A, we are still with Dragon, for the Ausf.B we will jump to Tristar/HobbyBoss
Dragon Panzer IV Ausf.A , this one is basically the same kit as the other one, without the PE armor plates and with Magic Tracks and not DS Tracks.
A lot of options that Dragon provide us along the build, specially on the lower hull parts, we need to be careful checking the sprues to make sure we are using the correct parts.

I'll agree with Boots.

Thanks Paul, Jeff and Boots !!
Let's see how this one goes. This kit had a lot more options for markings and painting.

I'll be interested in how that Tristar/HobbyBoss kit goes together.

I'll be interested in how that Tristar/HobbyBoss kit goes together. I hope it will be soon
Here's some progress today, not much done,
Here we can choose between A32 and A36
I picked A32 .
Here, it's between some PE parts and some plastic ones, I'll have to check both parts first.
And here, it's between two different tires.
Building it,
And now some lower hull details,
started adding some parts,
Still a few details to add.
That was it for today.

I'd go for A32 as well mate, how ridiculous can it be with A36 and all the nipply bits to be glued in?

A36 is or could be meant for a maintenance dio . You could then leave off the final drive unit, showing all the detail of the components. Haven't Miniart got a figure set for such a diorama?
