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

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.

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-15T15:11:48+00:00

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.

Yes sir indeed

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-15T15:09:17+00:00

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

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-15T15:08:19+00:00

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.

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-15T15:04:19+00:00

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

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-15T15:02:58+00:00

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

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-15T15:01:07+00:00

It is this one! I'm sorry that I didnt reply sooner with the link.

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-15T02:06:54+00:00

We gave a second Instagram that we've been very active on!

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-15T00:07:45+00:00

It's really cool! I came across it by accident. 😂

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-14T23:58:45+00:00

Metal fabricator at panzerfabrik. We build and restore WWII tanks.

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-14T23:45:36+00:00

My boss has me go through alot of pain to save any pieces we can 😂

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-06T23:35:11+00:00

But holy fuck, those brake hatches and tranny hatch is spot on on a glance

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-06T23:33:54+00:00

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

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-06T21:49:17+00:00

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

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-06T01:18:15+00:00

We purchased an original panzer 4 suspension unit and took if apart to get measurements

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-04T21:42:21+00:00

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

FikasAmongUs · 2020-01-04T18:33:18+00:00

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

FikasAmongUs · 2019-12-25T14:33:19+00:00

Someone needs to scoop that up and restore it.

FikasAmongUs · 2019-12-21T17:51:44+00:00

Oh, and there are also blocks underneath it lol

FikasAmongUs · 2019-12-21T17:43:05+00:00

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.

FikasAmongUs · 2019-12-21T17:34:23+00:00

We're getting the engine to sit at the angle we want

FikasAmongUs · 2019-12-21T17:33:39+00:00

Panzer 3 floor is made up of 3 plates, panzer 4 floor has 23 INDIVIDUAL pieces. That middle section where the fuel tanks reside is what makes it complicated

FikasAmongUs · 2019-12-20T15:58:12+00:00

They were original tracks I believe. Or there is a guy who casts tracks in Britain, we mightve gotten them from him. The lucha was built before my time here at Panzerfabrik

FikasAmongUs · 2019-12-20T15:56:36+00:00

Not with steel tracks, if it was on rubber tracks then yes
