The Panzer IV/70, was a German tank destroyer based on the Panzer IV chassis, it was armed with the 7.5 cm Pak 42 L/70. Officially, only the L/48-armed vehicle was named Jagdpanzer IV. The L/70-armed vehicle was named Panzer IV/70.

I have the  Operation Unthinkable boxed set containing the British and German tanks. The GF9 Operation Unthinkable boxed set, the British versus German, contains 17 tanks, three of which are the Panzer IV/70.

Having constructed all three models, one with skirts, one would have missing skirts, whilst the other one would have damaged skirts.

The next thing I did was give the models a white undercoat.

Having given the tanks a white undercoat, I then used a brown spray to basecoat the underneath of the models.

The aim of this spray is to add shadow to the model rather than using the same paint across the whole of the model.

The next step was a coat of Army Painter Desert Yellow Spray.

The next stage will be brush painting the camouflage.

One of the Clash of Steel Starter Sets have been on my wants list ever since I found out about them at the beginning of the year. I ordered Operation Unthinkable boxed set containing the British and German tanks. It contains 17 tanks, three of which are the Panzer IV/70 tank destroyer.

This is the GF9 finished model.

This is the sprue. It has the parts to make the L/48-armed vehicle as well.

I had constructed one of the models already. So, the next thing I did was construct the other two.

The first stage was constructing the hull and tracks. Then the main weaponry was added and the side armour. With these models I decided one would have missing skirts, whilst the other one would have damaged skirts.

Here are all three models.

Next stage will be a white undercoat.
