What is this thing?

A Panzer IV Schmalsturm? Never heard of or seen such an animal. Is this something that someone just made up as a fantasy vehicle or was it a real one off tank thrown together for consideration by the Nazi's?

I think it was planned to be the final variant of the panzer IV but never really came to be, like the Panther F

I was just a wet dream by the Germans in WWII. It was proposed, but then they snapped back to reality when they realized they were going to install that turret, to an already-overloaded Panzer IV H/J chassis.

And to top it off, that turret was not operational (did not rotate) on that chassis.

Did you just say you were "a wet dream"?

Hahaha, sorry Brother, gotta keep myself entertained. Merry Christmas.

Great looking model.
