 Subject:  1978 Pz IV's vs the real thingList thread.  
  
 Date:  May 2, 2008 
 From:  Robert Gregory 
I'm not bashing ducks or anything but wanted to reverse your story kind of.

While I grew up on those 70's kits, loved them at the time and they were the only thing I had that was a tank, a real model of a Panzer IV.

As time grew and I got older the trip to Aberdeen Proving Grounds tank museum became possible. The first thing I noticed was all of the problems on the real tanks! They did not look right compared to the models I've known all of those years.

I know, lame story but a true one.

What I see from this hobby is different strokes for different folks. Some like the ducks while others want eagles.
