German PzKpfw IV Ausf F SdKfz 161 Tank 1/35 Tamiya

This historical model assembly kit depicts the German Pz.Kpfw.IV. It was a stalwart of the WWII effort, serving from start to finish of the conflict. Manufacture began in 1936 with the Ausf.A, and went through a number of specifications before what was perhaps the definitive short barreled variant started production in 1941: the Ausf. F. It had reinforced armor and updated hull designs, as well as an L/24 75mm gun. Around 460 rolled off of the production lines, serving on the Eastern front as Nazi Germany grappled with the Soviet Union, and in North Africa.

• 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit.
• Brand new parts! (Only the lower hull and wheels are existing designs).
• Assembly type tracks capture the main Ausf.F design with lightened center guide sections. Tracks are assembled on an included jig to help recreate realistic upper run ‘sag.’

• Markings are included to recreate a choice of two different Eastern Front vehicles.
