This Panzer IV H featured a hand brushed camouflage scheme and the German girl's name "Gisela". It was likely part of the 16th Panzer Division, based on the style of stenciled numbers on the turret. This Division was wiped out at Stalingrad in January 1943 but it was reformed to fight first in Italy and then on the Eastern Front until the end of the war.

Very Cool!  :aok
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I copy and pasted sections of the camo which saved some time but it still took quite a while to do. All the edges of different parts of the skin had to be hand edited so the camo lined up across the joins and all the little brackets and fixtures painted so they matched the camo beneath them. Also some sections of the Panzer IV bmp are scaled up to a third bigger than others so the camo on those had to be scaled up the correct amount so that it all looked the same on the skin.
