Panther 214

Here is my completed Panther G from 2./ SS Panzer Regiment 1, 1SS Panzer Division during the Battle of the Bulge. This Panther represents Uscha. Rech's Panther 214 that took part in the assault on Stoumont, Belgium. The figure of Rech is holding his personal scissors binoculars which he used during the battle. Panther 214 can be seen in various films of the battle of Stoumont which show its dangling schurzen on the left side and another schurzen lying across the top of the turret. Various pictures of this tank can be seen in the popular book Duel in the Mist vol.1

Here's a picture of a little side project I am engaged in along with my Sherman. It's Tamiya's 1/48 Scale Stug IIIB. More pictures of the build are in the 1/48 section of the Missing Lynx Forums. Have look if you get a chance.

Newest Kit Acquisition PzKpfw.IV Aus.J Last Production

Just received the Latest Panzer IV from Dragon this week to add to my stash of Long Barreled Panzer IV's. It's their Panzer IV J Last production with Thoma Mesh Shields and 3 return roller configuration.  I am interested in doing an Ardennes Panzer IV J but this was a  later production tank as the Ardennes Panzer IV's had the 4 return rollers. Nevertheless Panzer IV Expert and Missing Lynx Axis Moderator Tom Cockle (a fellow Canuck) sent me a late 4 return roller Hull which was very generous of him. Now I can build that Ardennes Panzer IV J.  I have never built a Panzer IV and can't decide which one to start. At the moment I am leaning toward the F2(G) and finishing it in Afrika Korps colours.
