Panzer IV Ausf J, initial

This is the Cyber Hobby Panzer IV Ausf J 2-in-1 Smart Kit. The essential difference between this and the former Ausf (H) is the absence of the turret traverse motor muffler at the rear plate.

This Smart Kit is upgraded with the dedicated Griffon update set including barrel. I chose not to build the AFV with Scurzen or a turret bin in order to display the detailing such as OVM tools and Zimmerit work (done here with Plasto paste), which is often obscured by turret and hull skirts. The kit also has some resin casting numbers added and (TMD) 3-D chain work that is obvious to spot. The antenna is RB Models and the tracks are Friul.

Thanks for looking!
