Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.G

Next on the bench after the plane is done is a Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.G from Tamiya. It's a kit that is set for the African campaign, though I have been concentrating on the Ardennes Forrest region. 

The kit cam from a friend of Eric's and mine.  I picked it up at this years Chattanooga show form his sister. I picked up a lot more from her as well, including some Echelon decals for the Kharkov region. I also was able to pick up some T-Rex tracks for the Panzer III/IV for a winter set. 

After doing some research on the Kharkov and Kursk battles, I opted to not to use this kit, but will most likely use another one of my Panzer IV's for that build. I will do more research on the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte since they were in both the battles of Kharkov and Kursk.

Not sure what it is, but instead of just building and painting a tank, I need to have some sort of historical accuracy to them. More so than any of the auto's I've built. 

But this kit will be modeled after something like this.

I'll do a bit of research and will most likely use the decals that came with it, since there is the DAK Palm Tree decal. Color scheme is a toss up of the Gelbbraun RAL 8000 over the Dunkelgelb RAL 7028 as above or straight Dunkelgelb RAL 7028. Haven't decided yet.
