Sorry Kat but if you think the above tank is in the same ball park as a First Legion tank you got more then some measurements wrong, dude look at it....it screams Wal Mart and cheap plastic, But if your ok with that then it's all good but as I told you weeks ago no collector wants to hear the" you should buy X,Y,Z because those brands are so much better"man give it a rest, your stirring up drama that is not needed, I quit commenting on your threads on all other areas of this forum to keep out of the drama but First Legion is my main focus on this part of the forum I will speak my mind here, again as you stated your much happier with 21st century\W.Britains etc. so what's the point?? ...Sammy

Actually this is not a bad looking Panzer IV......That said .....It needs to be weathered up to get rid of those OVERLY BRIGHT colors which are too toy like.... it needs a re-paint and weathering to work with FL figures.....It's always good to explore options.....But this model will need work and require the painting talents of a modeler like Mitch to bring it up to par....If you have those talents it could work

No problem Sammy:wink2:...Like I said it would require some modelling skills and a re-paint to bring it up to par and not all of us possess those needed skills.:wink2:

Sorry, I'm not getting the "OVERLY BRIGHT colors which are too toy like" comments; what are you basing that on, the stock photos? The tank looks fine to me, nothing OVERLY BRIGHT about it IMO.

I'll take a look at my stock when it arrives, but this point only going off of stock photos, not sure how you can make a comment like that unless you've seen one in person.

It's a mute point anyway as the production run is sold out.

I think its the camouflage Panzer IV long barrel he is mentioning not the First Legion winter Panzer IV. The former is certainly toy like and bright with an almost burgundy for the Rotbraun colour

Can we not resuscitate this thread. Let's let it die naturally.

A little paint and some detailing and for $45.00 you can have on just like it! I find it is a better example of a Panzer IV H than the Figarti model; which is over scale and has exposed screw heads holding on the Schurtzen rails. The Panzer Kommander in the photo is a Figarti figure and the 60 mm WB Fallschirmjager are size compatible. The Stug IV is pretty decent too.

Sorry Brad I just can't let it go ^&grin^&grin but seriously a question about the FJ on the left side of the pair, is that his hand near the barrel of the rifle or am I looking at it wrong??...Sammy

Fingers are a bit funky on that figure. I think it was mentioned they would rectify them before release. I know they have copied some older poses with the new releases that may be an old one

plenty of interest in this thread. as has been suggested by Katana that this colour way is red primer I do not agree. This is a poor attempt at a rotbraun and too burgundy.

Collectors showcase went for this type of colour it is just wrong

Exactly....Thank You for clarifying.......That said: I bought the FL Winter Panzer IV and was not overly impressed with it... especially with the dark panel lines overly done....Not good IMO
