Not for the PZ IV I'm afraid, the Hors-série about the Panzers is already out of production...
But this build is essentially an out-of-the box one...

The building of the kit was made some times ago...
Some problems to remove the tiny parts from the sprue and to place them on the kit; but finally all was OK.
The antenna seemed to be too thick to me, so I've replaced with steel wire.
Only a major probelm: the tracks. On one side all ws OK, but on the other side there was a little space... I've recuperated a part of track from my spare box and placed them where needed...

Ground Forces / Panzer IV ausf.G (Dragon 1/72)

Well, time to start a new topic in the "Ground Forces" section of th eforum; this time it's really a ground force 
This PZ iv is a G model of early production. The Dragon kit is very fine. Dragon reduced his 1/35 scale kit to 1/72 scale with some new technique (as they say). The result is a stunning kit with lot of little, tiny parts - at 1/72 scale that's nice but cn be annoying because hard to manipulate...

The Me-1106 is the 1/72 kit from Huma Models. Nice little kit, easy to build, but with some defaults (no real cockpit interior and on my exemplar, the engine was not complete: a half engine broken with missing matter; and the front wheel was also broken and neede some chirurgical intervention)
Same as for the other:RLM interior applied, steel on the interior of the engine that is then assembled and repaired with Vallejo putty. Some Tamiya putty also needed on the part that will be visible...

The Palombian Me-109E is the 1/72 Tamiya kit. I have added photoetch from Part.
Some PE is still placed; white primer airbrushed then RLM interior green + black on the instrument panel

For the 109G, I've bought the 1/72 AIrfix kit. See the comments of N°1 in the Messerschmitt 109 GB: it's not a kit; it's just a nice toy for kids. But for my project it was good enough...
First stage was white primer; then interior RLM green
