If you want to build a model of a distinctive looking tank then the Academy Flakpanzer could be a contender.
The Flakpanzer Wirblewind was a German self propelled anti-aircraft gun based on the Panzer IV. The Panzer IV's turret was removed and replaced with a quadruple mount of 4 20mm cannons.
Although designed for an anti-aircraft role, the Wirbelwind's combination of armour and rapid fire from its 4 guns made it effective against lightly armoured ground targets and infantry.
