Pzkw IV
(List of photos at bottom of page).
Panzer IV with long-barrel 75mm gun. I'm not sure which mark this is, but the long barrels came into play around the Panzer IVF2 and remained through the Panzer IVJ - the final version. The gun barrel is long, but far shorter than the 75mm gun found on larger late war German AFVs' 75mm guns. Note the unusual exhaust louvers at the rear and a pipe (I'm unsure of the purpose) along the side.This model has the spaced turret armor typical of the Panzer IVH series and so I assume this is a Panzer IVH.
