PIPboy Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hey everyone, I'm about to start my Panzer IV (H). I would prefer to do something other than the usual German colour schemes so I looked for alternatives and I found a few pictures of Syrian Panzer IVs. Here are my questions: 1. Did the Syrians have Panzer IVs without the skirt on the turret (my kit doesn't include any extra armour)? I found a few pictures of captured tanks without skirts but I can't tell if they never had skirts or the skirts were removed after they were captured. 2. What was the colour of these tanks in active duty? I found pictures of two colour schemes: sand and gray( ?). The latter was a picture of a captured tank. Was it repainted or there were different schemes? 3. According to the articles I read, the Syrians didn't really change many things on their Panzers. The only significant difference you can see from the outside is that they removed either one or both of the machine guns. Is there something else I'm missing?
