Hi Ive just got a HL Pz. IV (thanks Martin ) .Im thinking of turning it into a Ausf. H or Ausf. J . I cant decide , it deppends on amount of alterations required :-\ . I like the exhaust it comes with but Ive seen early Ausf. J s with this on not the verticul mufflers . Id also like it to be zimmerited to . I have noticed the mantlet looks a little oversized . But its an excelent tank Ive been after one for ages .Also do the early Ausf.Js all have the c hook mounts on the extended side pannels rather than mounted on the front ? Im not starting this just yet as I have a little to do to my Tiger and to finnish Chunks Tiger to . Any advice on this greatly welcomed . I have both the modeling and history of Osprey books on the Pz.IV .
Thanks Littletankman
