Help with Panzer IV markings

[lifeofbrian]

I want to paint the markings for the Panzer IV Ausf.F2/G of the 1st Infantry Division (motorized) “Grossdeutschland”, Voronezh, Russia, June 1942, but I can only find a side view. Not being very knowledgable about such things I have no idea what the rest of the marking would be. Maybe the =1 on the rear stowage bin and the 1st Infantry Division symbol somewhere? Can anyone lead me to some pics or tell me what I need to know, I only need to know the main ones.

Thanks.

On page 62 of "Panzer at War" is a photo of an up-gunned early Ausf.G, this was taken between Early 1942 and early 1943.
On the left rear fender is the "Grossdeutchland Divisions Stencilled Steel Helmet, and on the back of the Turret box is the "unique" Divisions numbering system ---- " =1 " in other words the white number is preceded by a white equals sign.
I hope that helps,
There is a notable lack of rear and plan views of armour from any nation of the 1939- -1945 period.

If you click on the link above, you'll have access to around 600 photos of Panzer IVs of various types, and in various theatres of war. Although they're in black and white, and rear shots tend to be fairly rare, it's worth a look at the photos for the unit markings...

Good link, cheers.
