The Krupp Pz IV K version (paper and not produced)? or the actual production models? All will have camouflage skins and masks. There is an existing Panzer IV K with masks in the game done by Guille. I plan on tweaking it a little with the tread and bogey sets.

Panzer IV E, F, F2, G, H, J will be done along with various other armor using the PzIV chassis.

Yeah, flak you are expanding the whole PzC units set!. You are a man on a mission for sure!

Next stop the T-26 family

Thanks a lot.

Hi Akkula!

The T26 series................well OK we will do it.

In the meantime I have been making templates of the Pzr IV chassis, turrets, tracks, etc. Set up a "semi-assembly line" with three dogs as slave labor to work on these Panzer IV's. These first two groups are the finished BARE of THOMA SCHURTZEN Panzer IV J versions I made, although they have four return rollers instead of the three that were used later in production. They also have the spark/fire arrestor mufflers that I sort of managed to mangle into a blob of rusted metal. But they are TWO mufflers when scaled up. The last Pzr IV J in Group 2 has Ostketten on it. Next step is to make various "battle damaged" Thoma Schurtzen equipped Pzr. IV J. I do not plan on using many/any non schurtzen equipped Pzr IV J units, these are just the bare versions to put the schurtzen on. There will not be any schurtzen on an Ostketten equipped tank of any series. Hard to see some of the details and differences but they are there and the loosely running tracks are also there if you look close.

I started with the J series since putting the Thoma Schurtzen on them and masking them is the most time consuming. Once they are done and the Pzr. IV H series, it ought to go pretty well.

Here are some of the types of Panzer IV model versions I have been working on. I have variations of Panzer IV from Pzr IV D through Pzr IV J. And there are enough so that you can have several in any game and they will all be a little different in appearance even though they may be Pzr IV D, E, F, F2, G, H or J (several versions of each model Pzr. IV). Have made a lot of progress and mostly lacking the masking now. If anyone wonders why I did the tracks and lower side hulls with the bogies and driver wheels a bit light in color on the original units, it was so that when using the correctly masked unit in DCS, you can vary the tone, color and highlights of this section of the tank unit for more variety. All of these will be masked so that a person can vary these colors and tones with DCS (for the side hulls/bogies/drivers and also vary the shade and tone of the tracks). Also have another pack of skins I am working on to put with this release.

Great Units!

Details are hard to put on these little units, but sometimes they do show up. That is the reason I made the Ostketten or Winterketten version of the StuG's, Pzr III and now Pzr IV. No, the units do not look exactly like the real Pzr IV F2 in the picture, but the resemblance is there in some ways I think.
This unit and the skins will be in the coming Pzr IV pack I am assembling right now. This type of unit and skin makes me think of Stalingrad and Operation Winter Storm. Enjoy playing in the snow.

Thank you for your support and acknowledgement my friends. Just about finished the Pzr IV series but am working on the various models produced on the chassis now. Making progress steadily.

Flak,

I am really liking those winter skins. Very nice.

Hey Flak, good to see you're still rollin out new icons. I haven't been on here much lately but finally now just starting back up on campaign making. I don't know if anyone has made this yet but I was playing around with it and thought I'd see if you would be interested in making a mask for it.

Haven't found much info on this other than: it was a field mod, not a production vehicle, a few built by pzjgr abt 128 around mid-late '43.

The stowage on this this one is probably a bit better proportioned.
