Assembled (and there are a lot of bits that go together to make the silly bogey arrangements you do not see) and under coated, waiting for that Panzer Yellow dirty wash perhaps (I could justify myself doing Panzer Grey as anything goes in 1945 German paint shops or even a anti-rust primer driven out to the front)?

1946+ or alternative history games Jon, so almost a Games Workshop model
Al the combat record of these things to the best of my knowledge was two in total, pushed out of the stores/arms depot in 1945. One broke down and was destroyed by its crew the other abandoned by its crew and ended up in a Russian Tank Museum
In honesty I think they were a backwater 1943/44 armoured assault tank project that were left on the shelves.
You're right Paul it had crosses on it ;)
