Takom posted on their FB page that this was a photoshop fake.

Takom published those images to test the reactions of the modelling market. When it didn¨t get the responses they were hoping for they denounce and deny and call it fake news

Looks like a lot of effort for a fake. Maybe the photoshop is to call it 'panther kampwgen'instead of 'panzer kampfwagen'. Would be interesting if it were to be released. Maybe they did it themselves to test reactions.

Jason Wong, who actually drew this, says it's for Border Model. So we are indeed getting the new PzIV G, although it's not from Takom.

I would buy it if it had an interior or at least the engine in the rear.

Well, the image is put out by a company which used to specialize in tools called Border Models. They made the original announcement. Someone slapped a Takom logo on it and created this fiasco. So there is a new IV coming, just not by Takom.
