1/35 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H Late
The Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H Late kit by Border Model in 1:35 scale represents a late variant of the German Panzer IV medium tank. Ausf.H was the most numerous variant produced and was distinguished by the use of the powerful 75mm cannonKwK 40 L/48, anti-tank armour (Schürzen) and new, late production modifications. The kit is rich in detail, includes an interior and offers fully functional running gear.
The Panzerkampfwagen IV (Pz.Kpfw.IV) was a medium tank used by the German Army during World War II. It was the only German tank to be produced throughout the war, from 1937 to 1945. Originally a support vehicle with a short gun, the Panzer IV evolved into a main battle tank.
The Ausf.H variant began production in 1943 and became the most produced version of the Panzer IV, with over 3,700 units produced. A key improvement was the powerful 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/48 gun, which provided sufficient firepower to fight most Allied tanks. To increase protection, additional plate armour, known as "Schürzen", was fitted to the hull and turret to protect against cumulative projectiles. Late versions of the Ausf.H were characterized by the absence of front sights on the turret, smaller details of simplified manufacture and the typicalsteel running wheels on support pulleys instead of the rubber ones used earlier.
The Panzer IV Ausf.H played a key role in all major battles from 1943 until the end of the war, including the Battle of Kursk, the fighting in Normandy and the Ardennes. Despite the advent of the Panther and Tiger tanks, the Panzer IV remained the backbone of the German armoured forces.
