Description
One of my favorite vehicles from WWII is the Panzer IV, It has a very Tankish look to it...one look and you know its meant to ruin some poor souls day. Built in large numbers and finally fitted with a decent high velocity 75mm (the history of the Panzer series' main gun selection is long story which a lot of allied tankers should be very happy about.) The H variant as a fairly effective fighting vehicle that was in use until the end of the war.

The Skirts and panels on the turret and Hull were called Schurzen, and were first added to help protect from normal weapons by upsetting the flight of various projectiles. It later became evident they had the added benefit of helping to protect from various shaped charge weapons as well.

I had to eyeball a few details and will update as I find time to work on a host of small details. But I am rather happy with the results. Let me know if I missed anything major...
