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!
