Ready to light up the 8th Army in the desert |
I stumbled across these models - already assembled and primed no less! - in my massively disorganized "pending" pile, and they made for a perfect project while (speaking of epic fails) the Winnipeg Jets somehow managed to beat the Washington Capitals last week. Besides, my 15mm DAK and 8th Army collection could use a little shot in the arm, as they haven't seen any action in quite a while.
One tank is a Panzer IV F1, which I believe was the last variant of this mark to sport the short-barreled 75mm gun. The other is a Panzer IV F2, sporting the long-barreled 75mm gun - this is one of my favourite models.
It was fun to work on one of my favourite tanks from the period - but I'm no ace with decals - check out the distorted tactical numbers... |
There are some more 15mm WW2 projects in the pipeline, but they will switch gears away from North Africa and head into Europe and the later war period. I already have a Jagdpanther, so I thought I would assemble a few troops to go along with it, starting with some panzer grenadiers from Battlefront. Hopefully I will have them done during the challenge period to scrape out a few more points, and maybe inspire a 15mm WW2 game soon with Dallas.

Very nice!!!
Looks good dude. I don't think a stencil would be the way forward as you'd still have to make it lay flat on the surface in order to use it... I think painting by hand (or thinner decals) is the only solution!
Letraset perhaps? I've used it personally with mixed results in the past.
Kind regards, Chris.
