Lots of photos of captured Axis equipment in Gorky Park.

There are some photos of Tiger I initial "100" that I haven't seen before. Hopefully they will be of use to someone.

Very nice pics, Tim, thanks!
I can¡t identify the halftrack with armoured cab in the first pic, behind the B IV; it's a ...Sd.Kfz. 7 with....flak 38...or flak 43?

You're welcome Darío.

I think it is a Flak 43 as the shield above the gun breech is much taller.

Does anyone know which Ausf these Panzer IV's are either side of Tiger 100? I think they are F2 or Initial G.

OK, so, it's a 7/2, thanks
The Pz IV looks like an early G to me too, but I can't be sure 100% sure

To be able to answer one should know the tank serial number. Was it built before or after the name changed ?
Rule of : if no ball shaped muzzle brake then you're safe (more or less) to call it a G.
Plus they seem to have the extra tracl links brackets on the glacis so Gs likely.

Thanks Darío & Laurent.

Dragon's 6594 Pz IV Ausf.G looks a good match. Would need to remove the additional armour and turret storage though.

Are they repainted? Or just gray?
