Panzer question (1 Viewer)

With regards to Bitains panzer IV's have seen quoted, quite often from sellars that only 500 of each type were produced...Is this true

Remember reading somewhere that with each tank style varient,with its two different tank numbers,one set of numbers was sent to Europe and the others to USA.....
Is this true?

Wonder if anyone in the forum can confirm this.

Great question. I've got each of their model numbers, at least I think I do. But, I have seen pictures on some web sites in the past that have different hull numbers than the hull models I have, each having the same model number but a different hull number.

These are the Britains model numbers and their associated hull numbers that I have in my collection.
BRITAINS

17460A - 501
17460B - 524
17460C - 511
17460D - 534
17460E - 523
17460F - 541
17460G - 11
17460H - 723
17460I - 423
17460J - 431

Thanks would really to finally find out i have the complete set of panzers.
I based my colection on your list, but have come across at least one strange Britains tank on ebay that might have been a paint job....
