Thanks for your question, Ryan!
MiniArt’s “Bulgarian Maybach” is an early Ausf.H from Vomag’s production(June 1943).These vehicles were received in Bulgaria in July 1943(third delivery) and in September 1943(fourth and fifth delivery).
Here is one of them (picture from Craig Ellis “PzKpfw IV at the Front.Update No4”):
The vehicle I’ll build from Border’s kit is one of March 1943 Krupp production- it had the shorter L/43 barrel, smoke grenade launchers, lacked the Filzbagfilter and had no Schuerzen:
I’ll buy the MiniArt’s Bulgarian Maybach too, but will not use any of the marking options that come with the kit- they are correct for other Bulgarian Pz.IV’s but not for this vehicle, while the green crosses provided on decals are totally irrelevant for any Bulgarian WWII tank.
HTH,
Angel
