It was at least a year ago since I last purchased a kit of an AFV, so I treated myself to a Trumpeter 1/16 Pz IV ausf J

And here I sit with this big and beautiful kit (it looks like a Dragon smart kit but two times as big !!!) and wonder :

Can a tank of Kampfgruppe Peiper in the Ardennes in december 1944 be made with this one ? Is it the correct version for that ?

Can't believe no one's answered you. Here's a list of vehicles in one company

• I./SS PANZER-REGIMENT 1 plus 9. Company (Pionier) and 10. Company(Flak) [Stbanfhr. Pöetschke]
Motorcycle = 10
Motorcycle with sidecar = 5
Kettenkrad = 15
Volkswagen = 18
Swimmwagen = 3
Medium car = 5
Light civilian type car = 3
Medium civilian type car = 8
Light truck = 9
Medium truck = 12
Heavy truck = 2
Maultier = 3
Möbelwagen with 3.7cm Flak mounted = 4
Wirbelwind with 2cm quad Flak mounted = 4
Panzer IV = 34 plus 3 in maintenance
Panther = 38 plus 4 in maintenance
SdKfz 251/3 = 1
SdKfz 251/7 = 6
SdKfz 251/8 = 2
SdKfz 251/17 = 2
SdKfz 7/1 = 3
Light machinegun = 40
Heavy machinegun = 1
2cm Kwk mounted = 2
2cm Flak Quad mounted = 7
3.7cm Flak mounted = 3
Manpower = 830

That list is from here; http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=114669

While it only says Panzer IV, odds are good at least a few were Ausf. J's.
