maybe you guys could help me, i was thinking of making a diorama with a russian captured Pz.IVf2 and a Jägdpanzer, i'd like to know if there could be a possible way of the 2 confronting themselves in a eastern front battlefield. I was also thinking of maybe instead of the Jägdpanzer put some dead russian soldiers (i know they used to walk beside the tanks) and a 20mm FlaK gun. Could the 20mm bullets pierce the schurtzen?
tnx

20mm rounds were very capable of penetrating the 8mm thin armour, and even machineguns and somethimes rifles could

BTW, it's Jagdpanzer, not Jägdpanzer

It's possible - although the chance is very slim...

Because of equpment failures it was far more common for the Germans to convert other countries equipment. Especially in Russia alot of t-34s were converted and Markings added.
Squadron Signal Publications has a series called panzer colors that has pics of equipment with color schemes that you should see.
