Jagdpanzer IV/L48

Manufacturer: Hasegawa (31149)

By Marko Mäkinen.

This is an early Jagdpanzer IV by Hasegawa. Poor original vinyl tracks were replaced with hard plastic tracks taken from the Revell Pz. IV kit. The sprocket and idler wheels were changed at the same time. Some smaller details (handles, periscope covers) were also added and some hole drilling done. The zimmerit coating is pressed with a small screw-driver on the plastic surface softened with liquid glue. The kit was a joy to build with zero problems and it looks very nice finished.
