Taranov, Koluchiy - great work!

This is a late production Ausf G with 30mm armour plates welded to the superstructure front and nose. Its main armament appears to be jammed at full recoil.

This is early production Ausf.G, produced in october'42.
It has original gun KwK40 L/43, produced in 1942.
Its main armament just returned (just several years) to the proper position.
Tank is in running condition since 2001.

This is the tank after the shootings of the cinema.

The interior of the tank was more dirty than the exterior.

Were you able to fabricate the recoil guard on the main gun?

No, the time for works ends, so we decided do not make this complicated detail.

I hope in the next time we will make it.

Glad I could offer some help, nice work.
May I use those pictures at the register?

Yes, no problem

Done:

Direct link: Kubinka Panzer IV
Indirect (includes Kubinka Pz II): PGT Additions and Corrections

(it's great to learn exactly when and where it was built so I've included that information, and taken the opportunity to update the entry/link for the Krupp Magdeburg factory, including adding more photos).

Taranov, Koluchiy - please check the entry for this vehicle for accuracy, and let me know if you can add anything to the information.

For example, the map of locations is very sparse - do you know anything about where it served or was knocked out, where it was used for training and where it was captured? More recently, where was it used for the film making, and has it travelled anywhere else away from Kubinka? Many thanks.

I like the tank better in the old paint! Smile

A nice job you made! Thanks for sharing.

Just completing some unfinished work - I've gone back and done a little research on this tank's unit so I could add the location where it was destroyed onto the map:

UID160: Kubinka Pz IV

I've also added the most useful background links I found.
