A resin mid-type idler wheel mount for the Pz. IV chassis in 1:35 scale from the manufacturer ELEFANT. A detailed replacement for the plastic running gear parts, not a kit in its own right.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin accessory from the manufacturer ELEFANT in 1:35 scale for modelers who build the Pz. IV tank or vehicles on its chassis. It replaces the idler wheel mount at the rear of the hull in the version corresponding to the mid production type. It is not a vehicle model and not a complete running gear, but one specific area of the suspension.
The idler wheel holds the track at the prescribed tension and its mount allowed the wheel to be moved forward and back. The design of this assembly changed during the war, so an early, a mid and a late type are distinguished today. A modeler building a particular vehicle therefore has to choose the right variant, otherwise the model does not match the period intended. Plastic parts also tend to be simplified, because a mold cannot create lightening holes and stepped transitions without compromise. A resin casting manages that geometry, and at the rear of the vehicle, where the mount is clearly visible, the difference shows immediately.
Alignment matters most. Before gluing, check that both sides of the vehicle have the mount at the same height and at the same distance from the rear, otherwise the track will sag differently on one side from the other. It helps to put the hull on a sheet of glass and measure the distances from the base. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw, level the surfaces on abrasive paper and degrease the parts in warm water with detergent. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, and a gel consistency adds time to fine-tune the position. Begin the painting with primer; at the end apply a dark wash and dry pigment into the recesses of the mount, because this area stayed permanently dusty on the real vehicle.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and it is not a kit in its own right. Paints, glue and the base model are not included in the package.
