Description

Whilst the propaganda headlines may well have gone to the big cats such asthe Panther and the Tiger, the Panzer IV was the backbone of German armouredcapability throughout the war.

You can choose to build your Panzer IV as one of three differentvariants:

• The short-barrelled Ausf. F1.
• The long-barrelled Ausf. G with its distinctive ball muzzle brake.Respectfully known by British forces in the desert campaign as the ‘Mark4 Special’ it saw action in the Western Desert and the Russian Frontprimarily.
• The Ausf H with its new muzzle brake and protective schürzen sideskirts.

A regular sight on late war battlefields, the Ausf H is one of the iconicPanzers of the war. The iconic German tank of the Second World War, the PanzerIV fought from the invasion of Poland to the fall of Berlin. The Panzer IV wasconstantly updated, with its sound design giving it a longevity well beyond thatof its contemporaries. By mid-war it was packing a deadly long-barrelled 75mmgun, giving it great hitting power and better mobility and its armour had beendoubled in places greatly increasing its survivability.
By the time of massive battles in Russia in middle of the war the Pz IV was alsocarrying the detachable screen side armour known as schürzen. This was inresponse to the threat posed by Russian anti-tank rifles and, latterly, byAllied hollow charge bazooka style weapons.

This is the backbone of the Panzer regiments!
