German Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. G

Johan Perremans
This is a lovely little kit but it has a number of accuracy issues - mainly features that don't match with each other and with the decal options in particular.
What you get in the box is an early IV G sans welded add on armour and sans roof reinforcement. The kit does however contain the much later bolted add on armour, which will come in handy when tweaking for accuracy.
It comes with an antenna deflector - but it is the Nibelungenwerk style that sits horizontal. Vomag and Krupp used an inclined style. Luckily it also comes with a gun cleaning rod arrangement that fits Nibelungenwerk

Tank 528 irl was a Mid Nibelungewerk, go like this to build it accurately:
- remove the bolts from the add on armour and glue the parts to bow and front hull
- cut the signal port from the roof - and make a roof reinforcement plate from a piece of plastic strip - as thin as possible. The plate should cover the hole and the part of the roof in front of the cupola
- to be 100% accurate the tank should have its tracks reversed - there is no way to do this with the L&L tracks.
- the instructions correctly have you install the extra cargo bin on the fender that most LAH IV's had during the Kharkov Battle

You may ignore the decal options and finish as per kit's instructions but in that case it probably shouldn't have the antenna deflector in place.
