First things first, A Belated Welcome to the Forum
I have an affection for PZ4s,
Just a couple of things about yours which by the way is splendid especially the finish.
The Aus "J" had an aerial on the Left rear flank,
Immediately in front of the cupola forward viewing slit was an upright bar that the commander used as a bore sight, I think I have seen this fitting twice out of all the PZ4s I have seen in 1/16, I use a small dressmakers pin and heat the sharp end and push it into the plastic of the Turret in front of the cupola.
The Tiger 1 had a similar aiming bar mounted just above the Gun Mantlet at the front of the Turret and that is just never fitted because it is too fragile in our scale,
The Japanese Rye Field Model Co included it in their Tiger 1 kit but I don't think even the perfectionists Tamiya ever did. Back to the PZ4,
The left rear fender carried a reflector near its base and above it was a two tier multi-lens rear light,
There was no reflector or rear light on the right hand rear of the PZ4 even though Heng Long includes this fictional item.
Like I said you have done some quality work I am most impressed.

That Panzer IV is a bit of a mutt LoL. every time i put something new on it i leave it primer red and do some wear markings, call it a scavenge upgrade. I even have a panzer III return roller on its right side. depending on which apple i use that cupola comes off a lot. as for any type of rear light they broke off a while ago

there are so many more things i could do to them but i just can't justify hugh details because i like to battle with them. I'm known to loose tracks and still try to drive around lol. My KT has turret problem that stops it turning, slave labour did it. i can fix it for a time with electrical tape around the turret ring.

that tiger I was me be stupid and i saw it on WoW "i want to do that paint job". all of my tanks have more detailing on them since i posted last in those threads but the KT i've played with the most. I've been using black powder and setting it up for the black impact look

Oh crap i didn't post anything for project Bite Me. i think that will be the next one to paint but i got to set some coins aside and find a different turret for it. i may start a build thread for it here on friday

Welcome to the forum from the UK really nice thanks you have.
