Assembly and Compatibility
ABER photo-etched parts are designed for self-assembly. For bonding metal parts, the use of cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended, as it provides a strong and durable bond. For advanced modelers, there is also the option of joining elements through soldering, which further increases the structural strength and allows for a precise fit.
This set perfectly complements other detailing accessories available on the market. For a comprehensive enhancement of your Pz.Kpfw.IV model's realism, we recommend supplementing it with metal gun barrels, individual track links, metal tow cables, and realistic crew figures. Combining these elements will create an exceptionally detailed and authentic historical model.
Suggested Colors
As an integral part of the tank, the ammunition stowage bins should be painted in colors consistent with the camouflage scheme of your chosen Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H or Ausf.J model. Typical colors for German military vehicles from the World War II period include:
Dunkelgelb (Dark Yellow) – the primary color for German tanks from 1943.
Olivgrün (Olive Green) – often used for camouflage patches over the basic Dunkelgelb color.
Rotbraun (Red Brown) – a complementary camouflage color, also applied as patches.
It is recommended to use acrylic, enamel, or lacquer hobby paints, in appropriate RAL shades, to achieve the greatest historical accuracy.
