About product

Steel return rollers of the Panzer IV, pattern 1

A set of small parts that replace the return rollers on the upper run of the track on a model of the Panzer IV in 1:35 scale. The manufacturer sizes it for one vehicle and marks it as the first of four shape variants, with a period of use from 1943 to the end of the war.

Why the rubber disappeared

German production ran into a shortage of rubber in the autumn of 1943 and answered it by abandoning rollers with a rubber tire band on the Panzer IV and going over to all-steel rollers. The change affected precisely the upper, return run of the track, where the demands on damping were not as high as on the road wheels. Visually it is a striking difference: instead of a smooth dark band, a metal disc with a pressed or cast profile can be seen, which also rusts quickly and offers a rewarding surface in painting.

Who the set is useful for

  • builds of the Panzer IV of the late production series
  • modelers correcting the dating of a vehicle
  • dioramas from the last two years of the war
  • vehicles derived from the Panzer IV chassis

Installation and painting

Cut the original rollers off the kit and level the surface of the mount so that the new parts sit on one axis. Separate the replacements from the casting block with a fine-toothed saw and sand the mating surfaces. The joint is made with super glue, and it is good to try the parts dry first. A steel surface suits a dark metal base, over which a thin layer of rust is laid with a stippling technique and finally dust settled on the lower edge.

FAQ

Because of the shortage of rubber in the autumn of 1943. On the return run of the track the rubber band could be done without.

The manufacturer sizes it for one vehicle. The exact number of parts is not stated here.

Super glue, once the casting block has been removed and the mating surface sanded.

The patterns differ in the shape of the disc and the rendition of the mount. The surest way is to compare with a photograph of the particular vehicle.
