Bolt Action | German Panzer IV AUSF. F1/G/H | 28mm Plastic Vehicle

Whilst the propaganda headlines may have gone to the big cats like the Panther and the Tiger, the Panzer IV was the backbone of German armored capability throughout World War II. This versatile tank fought from the invasion of Poland to the fall of Berlin and was constantly updated, providing it with a longevity well beyond that of its contemporaries.

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

• Ausf. F1: The short-barrelled version.
• Ausf. G: The long-barrelled version with its distinctive ball muzzle brake, known by British forces as the 'Mark 4 Special,' which saw action in the Western Desert and the Russian Front.
• Ausf. H: Featuring a new muzzle brake and protective schürzen side skirts, the Ausf. H became an iconic sight on late-war battlefields.

By mid-war, the Panzer IV was packing a deadly long-barrelled 75mm gun, giving it great hitting power, better mobility, and improved survivability with doubled armor in critical areas. The Pz IV also carried detachable schürzen side armor in response to threats from Russian anti-tank rifles and Allied bazooka-style weapons.

This kit is highly detailed yet easy to build, making it a rugged gaming piece and a delight for painters and modelers. The Panzer IV comes with a comprehensive waterslide decal sheet, allowing you to finish your new tank off perfectly!

This vehicle can also be used in games of Achtung Panzer!, the game of close-quarters tank-on-tank combat, with rules found in the Achtung Panzer! rulebook.
