Summer of '42 - 15mm WW2

Got T-34 problems? Dial "IV" for fire support...

Another PSC Panzer IV for this post.  This paint job is intended to fit with the summer of 1942 on the Eastern Front.  This is a Mark IV F2/G - similar to the other two I painted earlier but with a paint job for an earlier period of the war.

I put a decal on from Battlefront's Stalingrad decal set on the rear panel...I am always a little wary of Battlefront's statements of history, but apparently the little little yellow I think it is the 24th Panzer Division.  I'm not sure if that is a correct symbol, but overall this tank looks ready to pursue the doomed  operation Blau. (Or was it "Fall Blau"?)

These tanks provided heavy fire support to the blue-collar Panzer IIIs that still carried out the bulk of the front line panzer fighting against increasing numbers of T-34s, KV-1s and other armoured horrors the Red Army threw at the Germans.  I will not need too many of these for a game - compared to Panzer IIIs...which PSC also has available in box sets...

I have one Mark IV F2/G left from my box of PSC Mark IVs.  I am thinking I am going to try and give it a winter paint job, suited for the fighting in the winter of '42-'43 around Karkhov or the desperate attempts to relieve the pocket in Stalingrad.  I have no 15mm figures with winter paint, camo or terrain...but I have to start somewhere, and a PSC panzer would be good to practice on.
