i wanna information about panzer iv ,especially,about appearance by production period.
because when i try to assemble my models,
sometimes there is different selectable parts,
and i dont know what should i use.

for "example" , what i want is

"(with drawings,)this part name is blabla and it was fitted from november 1944"
and
"difference between ausf.h late and ausf.j early is
blablabla ...."

Panzer Tracts has announced a book covering the final versions, which we all await eagerly and will cover what you want. Meanwhile there are also the series of print on demand books by Craig Ellis (8 wheels good), of which I hear good things.

James: You say that the Achtung Panzer info has been superseded. Can you cite examples?

I'd say so, yes. All based on primary sources, production history, dates of modifications, user reports etc.. Look at panzertracts.com for details.

Find a picture of the tank you want to build and work from that.
