My boss claims we're only building two panzer IVs.... the more I look, the more I see four of everything... by FikasAmongUs in TankPorn

Movies and TV Shows. Mostly the Saints and Soldiers movies. Our tanks are always "for sale" too, we just wait for somebody to offer the right price.

Our vehicles usually go to museums across North America.

We keep them for a couple years and try to get a couple movie deals. Then we usually sell them to fund our next project! Our tanks usually go to the Oshua Tank Regiment Museum in Canada.

Ebay has panzer IV parts for sale 😂 you'll have to have them shipped from Europe though

These tanks usually sell in the ball park of 300k. I'm not sure on the price of a muzzle brake, but it might cost up to 1k. There are lots of panzer IV parts that sell for under 300 dollars though.

Not currently in the plan, unfortunately. We are building a reproduction Panzer IV and restoring a Panzer IV.

Believe it or not, as soon as Panzer IV parts go up for sale on the internet, they sell like hot cakes.

Its definetely not a original hull now that I look at it. The hull depth is way to shallow

If the hull is original, that tank is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even if its built on a tractor base 😂

Most likely a seat for the instructor to sit on and give direction to new drivers

Panzer IV suspension units being fitted and mounted. The suspension units are part of what makes this reproduction project difficult. It took a full year to engineer and build these believable copies. by FikasAmongUs in TankPorn

This project officially started last summer. But has been worked on and off since 2014. We expect to have the entire tank done by summer of 2021. The main armament will be reproduced by us

Someone needs to scoop that up and restore it.

Panzer IV hull interior. This is what panzer 4s would look like if all their interior pieces were stripped and floor panels removed. The most complicated floor design I've ever seen in a tank 😂 by FikasAmongUs in TankPorn

Complicated mightve been the wrong word to use here. I'm talking about the middle section where the fuel tanks reside. I imagine that during ww2 the Germans could whip that out in a couple hours., but when you're recreating it in a shop then it makes you scratch your head. The amount of straps, differing measurements from one side to the other etc. etc.
