Product: 1:35 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.J Initial/EarlyProd

Dragon has added another Panzer IV tank in 1/35 scale, thus expanding the number of variants in this important tank family. This latest scintillating kit depicts a Panzer IV Ausf.J Initial/Early-Production version of the German medium tank, which was produced in April-May 1944. In most respects, the Ausf.J was a retrograde from the preceding Ausf.H, this being a necessity imposed on Germany to simplify production as the war progressed and as industry came under greater pressure.

Like other members of the Panzer IV kit family, this latest 1/35 scale kit in Dragon’s popular series possesses the ultimate level of detail. Parts are smartly engineered and tooled. Characteristics changed from the Ausf.H to the Ausf.J are accurately rendered, such as the turret side hatches without pistol ports, spare track links on the right side of the hull, and mesh (recreated with photo etch) between the storage bin and turret skirt. Furthermore, the individual side skirts are made of metal to achieve scale thickness, or alternatively they’re supplied in plastic too. With this accurate 1/35 scale kit, Dragon has filled yet another niche in the Panzer IV family!
