Continuing with the workhorse series while keeping in with the French October theme, here's Tamiya's classic Panzer IV Ausf D built in the early configuration without additional bolted on armour, no engine grille on the roof of the engine compartment nor the distinctive tool box behind the commander's cupola of the later versions. It appears that this was how many Panzer IVs appear during the Battle of France in the summer of 1940. This tank sport the markings of the ghost division during the French campaign commanded by General Erwin Rommel.
It may not be the most accurate but it's what is included in the kit and this was an out of the box exercise. This is the first time pastel chalk is used. Here it is prior to weathering.
And this after the first go of the wash and waiting for the base.
Completed!
