This is the Zvezda Panzer IV Ausf. H in 1/72 scale, kit number 5017 released in 2018. I replaced the hull Schürzen were replaced with sheet plastic and I added Zimmerit made with Mr. Surfacer 500. A nice kit and loads of camo schemes to choose from. Decals are from Kagero Top Colors 32 and depict a Panzer IV from the 116th Panzer Division in Normandy, August 1944. I found the mixed camo patterns of the hull Schürzen and the rest of the vehicle interesting. Kit description and build here: link

Very nice! Yes, interesting camo combo.
I haven't made any 1/72 Zvezda kits, only the Revell H. |

Thanks Silurian! I have heard good things about the Revell kit, I was actually looking to buy that one but it was out of stock at the time. |

Must be an interesting story there. Schurzen was pretty vulnerable to damage or being ripped off. Not unusual to see a missing panel or three. Wonder if these panels were sourced from a knocked out tank to replace this Panzer IVs original panels. In any event very nice work and enjoyed following along on your blog. |
