Take a look at the hull and turret and tell me what kind of tank this is.....

Obviously it is the the famous Panzer 4.5 aus A...

No, I think this is the famous Panzer 4.8 aus Q :-)

No, no, no...

C'mon you guys, don't you recognize the (infamous) Panther IV, Ausf. J?

Scott

No,it is a Panther V,ausf Windows 95

I know what it's meant to be as I've been building one on and off for about 18 months. #:-)
Trouble is it ain't meant to be in that colour or with that crew.
It's a Panther command tank - Ausf D with a Pz IV ausf H or J turret mounting a dummy gun.
IIRC it was attached to Schweres Abteilung 508, and started life as an MBT, got damaged and was rebuilt as a Bergepanther before ending up as a command tank .
Best as I can see with the one black and white photo I've got it was overall sand with irregular green blotches.
Scott is right about the Panther IV

That was an experiment with a panther hull and a PZ IV ausf H turret. looking for the exact name now!! stug

here's a link to achtung panzer with some info on the tank... http://www.achtungpanzer.com/pz4.htm#panther hope it helps. it's says that it was none traversing turret for the Bergepanther??? maybe a nice what if conversion. stug

Steve I believe the name you are looking for is Panther XP

From what I have read about this tank is that it is a one of a kind ...it is an early bergepanther ,but they added a panzerIV turret to give the recovery teams a bit of firepower..As it was said before the turret was fixed in place and couldn't travers. The one thing I don' t agree on is the unit ..I have it with the 653rd along with other strange vehicles that they used..(t34 with quad flak guns) I may be wrong about that but .....ehhh?

Hmmm, so what did I learn today
1) This thing really did exist
2) Juding by the link drawing, it was a pretty cool looking tank
3) You can learn something while trying to be a wiseguy (just a little too smart for my own good)

No worries PorkChop. This kinda stuff happens to me on a daily basis. At least I learned somethin' Thanks...

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. This thing was for real..hmm...(insert hitting wall with one's head)...Ouch!...That hurt...
