Bolt Action: Panzer IV Ausf B/C/D

The Panzerkampfwagen IV medium tank, or Panzer IV, was the only German tank to fight from the beginning to the end of World War II. This mechanically reliable tank was the backbone of the German war machine throughout the conflict, despite the Panther and Tiger tanks often receiving more attention.

The Ausf B and C variants saw alterations to the hull, armor, and turret cupola, but weren’t produced in large numbers. The Ausf D version was the first real production model, with over 200 built between 1939 and 1941.

Remaining in service until 1944, the Ausf D featured a new front hull plate design to accommodate the hull-mounted machine gun, a new external gun mantlet, and up to 25% thicker armor. These early Panzer IVs saw action in the invasions of Poland, France, and the Low Countries, as well as on the Eastern Front and in North Africa.

This plastic kit can be assembled as an Ausf B, C, or D variant.

Models are supplied unassembled and unpainted.
