OKB Grigorov models the simplified turret design for the Pz.Kpfw IV proposed by Krupp.
Krupp's proposal had a six-sided form, flat gun mantle, no vision or pistol ports. In lieu of a commander's cupola, it had two hatches on the turret roof, and a simplified hatch on the left side of the turret. Armor was increased: 80mm at the front, side and rear plates at 42mm. The proposed design however was dropped by July 1944 in view of plans to stop Pz.Kpfw IV production in the succeeding months.

Turret for Pz.IV, Simplified, Krupp Proposal (B72005). The set contains resin parts to build the turret, mantlet, hatches, and muzzle brake. Note that the metal barrel is available separately.
