Tamiya 1/35 German Panzer IV /70A

The Tamiya 1/35 German Panzer IV/70(A) (HC-35381) captures this late-war variant with impressive fidelity, combining the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf.J hull with the fixed fighting compartment and long L/70 7.5 cm gun. Developed in 1944 and fielded in limited numbers on both Eastern and Western Fronts, the IV/70(A) is depicted here following extensive research at the Saumur Armoured Museum in France.

This plastic model assembly kit presents crisp surface textures, accurate shapes and smart engineering for a satisfying build. Tamiya has included thoughtful details such as opening commander and loader hatches, a movable main gun with linked sight, and large photo-etched mesh Schürzen to replicate the distinctive Thoma side screens.
