Matt, definitely hilarious when framed that way!
If the painting works out to satisfaction, taking this one to an AMPS contest for the judge comments might be fun.
Hobby wise, I just about started the Dragon 2 n 1 Panther because it looks so incredibly awesome. Logic prevailed however with 10 builds already in process and the Dragon Panther & Puma remain unstarted.
So I’m trying to do the one thing I dislike most…RESEARCH …
Seeking-information-on-lahss-pz-iv-055-command-tank
Thought I found a Kursk era picture of 055 but after a bit of image manipulation it proved to a Pz IV numbered 065. Also trying to determine which stash kit would make the best Panzer IV G “055”. MiniArt makes the ideal Pz IV “Vomag” for this but MiniArt kits aren’t my cup of tea.
Angel caught that 055 is a Vomag April/May Pz IV G.
The Border Pz IV G & Dragon Pz IV G are probably my best choices that are in hand.
However, there’s a Gunzy/Imperial Dragon/Pz IV G that’s been lurking in the stask waiting to become just the right Kursk Pz IV for like nearly 30 years. I think with TriStar suspension & TriStar wheels, Fruilmodel’s tracks, Aber brass and Dragon spare parts etc, it could build up reasonably well.
That’s a November-Feburary idea for when I like building more than painting.
