REVELL-MONOGRAM 85-7861 PANZER IV AUSF H GERMAN WWII MEDIUM TANK 1/32 SCALE
DESCRIPTION:
During WWII, the use of tanks revolutionized the way war would be fought. It was known as "Blitzkrieg”, and the German Panzer tank was the key vehicle in this new style of war. The Panzer medium tank had a number of major modifications during the course of the war. The MK IV featured a 75mm main cannon and two 7.9mm machine guns. However, the MK IV was not heavily armored and suffered greater losses as the war developed. The PZKW was conceived in 1934 and went into limited production by 1936. The MK IV version went into full production in 1943 and reached large production numbers. After the first version of the PZKW, the MK IV became the basis for numerous armored vehicles, ranging from self-propelled guns to munitions carriers and bridge-layer tanks. Its poor armor protection was supplemented by armor skirts on the sides and around the turret.
FEATURES:
Upon opening the box there are 2 bags containing 6 sprues of green styrene, 2 vinyl tracks, decals, and a 12 page instruction booklet. This kit dates back to 1970 so don’t be surprised when you encounter a little flash. Actually there was not much on my copy and the plastic is pretty crisp with few sink marks and even fewer pin marks. The decals are in register and there are two styles. One is nice, crisp, freshly painted, and the other is a "weathered” look.
