Hey guys, picked up some psc panzers the other day to cheer myself up.

Quick historic question, did all the H tanks have the turret schuzen (think that's the term) and is the turret spaced armour used in the rules?

Just thinking of doing a few without it.

Cheers

The Later Pz IVs had factory mounted schurzen so, in theory, they would all have them.

In practice the plates were relatively easy to knock off (mostly due to clipping them on trees and the like) but I would imagine that it would be difficult to knock the turret plates off in such a manner.

At the very least they would all have the mounting brackets if not the actual plates.

Ahh ok thanks dude, I quite like them just thought of mixing it up a bit. I have done a couple missing some hull plates as if they had been damaged/fallen off

The Panzer IV ausf H was the primary recipient of schurzen. For about a month ausf Gs got schurzen but then the zusf H was introduced.

Bend, damage or remove some plates 'to taste'. However by and large they will all have them, and some other tanks will be retrofitted with them.

If you are careful with liquid green stuff you can add a limited amount of zimmerit also.
