After the WWII, the destination of the German armament was diverse. Some armoured vehicles such as the Panzers IV Ausf. H/J, arrived to Syria illegally. After some time and owing to the lack of spare parts, they became hybrid models with features from different versions.

You can find on sale a great number of kits (of different qualities), which you may build a Panzer IV from. Here, I used the Academy Pz IV H/J (ref.1328). However, I cannot recommend it highly enough, since the fit of parts is not good at all, making its construction very difficult, quite apart from the normal troubles you’ll run into if you modify it according to the Syrian version.
