Bolt Action Panzer IV Ausf. F1/G/H 1:56 WWII Model Kit

The Panzer IV, the iconic German tank of the Second World War, was the backbone of German armored capability throughout the war, despite the propaganda headlines focusing on bigger cats like the Panther and the Tiger. The Panzer IV could be built as one of three different variants: the short-barrelled Ausf. F1, the long-barrelled Ausf. G, and the Ausf. H with its protective schürzen side skirts.

The Panzer IV, also known as the 'Mark 4 Special' by British forces in the desert campaign, saw action in the Western Desert and the Russian Front primarily. Constantly updated, it was equipped with a deadly long-barrelled 75mm gun by mid-war, giving it great hitting power and better mobility. Its armor had been doubled in places, greatly increasing its survivability. The Pz IV was also carrying detachable screen side armour known as schürzen in response to the threat posed by Russian anti-tank rifles and Allied hollow charge bazooka style weapons.

This highly detailed yet easy-to-build kit provides a rugged gaming piece for tabletop World War II combat using dice, model troops, tanks, and the rules constructed by Bolt Action. Players can recreate battles using twelve closely defined battle scenarios, deploying forces and aiming for victory. The Panzer IV comes with a comprehensive waterslide decal sheet for finishing touches. The product is supplied unassembled and unpainted, with glue and paints not included.

The construction and painting of the models are just as enjoyable as the game itself, providing players the opportunity to bring the miniature battlefield to life. Players can pit their wits against each other as they enact just one small part of the historic conflict of World War II.
