German Panzer Iv Ausf.H

Description
A Polished Panzer
German forces relied heavily upon their workhorse the Panzer IV during WWII, and numerous variants were manufactured. Of them, the Ausf.H is often regarded as the most polished piece of design and production. It packed a telling punch with its long-barreled 7.5cm gun, and was fitted with distinctive Schürzen armor plates to provide added protection from anti-tank rifles. Around 2,300 Ausf.H Panzer IVs rolled off of the production lines between April 1943 and February 1944, and late production variants featured steel upper return rollers and cast metal idler wheels, plus inverted V-shaped additions to track links preventing slippage.
