So I have #920 the Ausf. H
I would like to have another in the build que, but only if it is visibly different (not counting the J's screen shields)
Do any of the other 1/16th Panzer IV's meet this criteria?
Are either of these 2 visibly different?
#919 is Ausf.F2
#922 Pz.Beob.Wg.IV Aust.J
Thanks

The F2 is essentially an early G. The H is a modified G.
F2 has a different muzzle brake, more rounded and the tool layout is a bit different. Most changes were internal.
The H has a one piece cupola hatch, introduced on late G's.
J's have changes in the mufflers and was a "stripped down" Pz IV. No turret motor, bigger fuel tank.
So unless you are looking for minute details, most Panzer IV's from F2-J appear similar at first glance. Minus the schurzen of course.
