With my Grenadier Guards sorted and well under way I've been playing with the
SS-Kampfgruppe Peiper list (because I love their
paint scheme) and have come up with what I believe are two viable 1,750 point lists. The first features the nearly invincible Königstiger.

And now the question about the Panzers. I'm considering using the
PSC Panzer IV kit, however the kit does not have the parts for the J. Is the Panzer IV H close enough to the J that I can use it instead? Thanks, and any feedback is greatly appreciated.
