Final Panzer IV GB 001

an attempt at a late-war Pnz IV ausf h with schurtzen armour, possibly Normandy 1944. Kit by ESCI/Italeri in 1;72. I wanted, for the challenge, to attempt one of the most complex cam schemes I'd ever seen on a German tank.  Backstory: the extra spaced turret armour was deliberately designed so that enemy soldiers might mistake it for a Tiger.  It was known British and American troops were jittery about the feared Tiger Tank. It is possible this tank was misidentified as a Tiger on many occasions.  The paint scheme took a couple of days concentrated focus, btw!
