Hello everyone!
Three backs here!
I'm back to my regular place in The Armory
I'm back to my long term project - Line of WWII main German tanks from I to VI.
Now it is turn of Panzer 4 and particularly Ausf.H modification with long 7.5 cm gun and Zimmerit coting with protection plates all around.
You can read about this specific tank and modification here
I'm back to GPM... Oh GPM - lack of instructions and drawings, odd decisions not to paint some parts and of course total ignoring of 2Pi*r formula
But! On the other hand - solid design, excellent paper and printing and astonishing coloring and weathering with 3d effects! Oh GPM!
The model looks beautiful and there is a bonus with all Zimmerit details printed on special perforated paper.
In addition, some 10 years ago I've got laser cut tracks from anomera.com site that is no longer exists. His tracks were of excellent design, so I'm glad I kept those (have another ones for Tiger waiting in a stash)
Also, i will be using my new tools stand
Started as usual from the hull. No flap joins here, so you need to figure out how to glue and in which order. For that matter I cut all outer shell parts and checked every time if it fits the power structure.
There is no asterisks explanation, but I remembered from older models that * is for 0.5 cardboard and ** is for 1mm cardboard. Simple as that. Definitely not Sherman case
And already first odd decision not to paint rear wall or to give inner shell for it. I assume there simple was no room of additional parts.
Next by instructions were all outer details
Until now everything fits perfect
Got to say I am really enjoying working with GPM paper - bends nice, paint doesn't break, easy to wipe out glue residues
