Miniature Review – Plastic Soldier Company 1/72 WW2 German Panzer IV
Welcome to Episode 18 of the Meeples & Miniatures Miniature Review Show.
In this episode, I take a look at the 1/72 WW2 German Panzer IV box set, released by the Plastic Soldier Company
Thanks for the comprehensive review. I had been resisting buying some of the PSC T-34’s, as my modelling skills are very limited, but your review and advice has convinced me to go out and get some. 🙂

Hi, I think you glued the rear panel on upsiden down.
I think also the hull schurzen skirts fit higher up, in a similar fashion to the turret ones
What I was hoping to see was where you put the twin-joined-curved-pipe bit (thats next to main commander on the sprue…)
Tank hatch is wrong for the H version, you should have used the single piece hatch, not the split hatch, this is the early version hatch. The TC is probably the wrong one too then. Yes, the hull skirts are too low… I’m assuming he just placed them improperly and I’m hoping it’s not a design flaw. The rear panel IS clearly upside down… this was rather disappointing as I’m trying to decide if I want to buy this model and these photo’s of the completed model so such a jacked up Panzer IV that I can’t tell if it’s a good kit or not. If you’re going to post a review of a model kit (which I appreciate you doing) please put a little more time and effort into building it to do it proper justice. I’m sure the manufacturer would appreciate this as well.
