1/35 German Panzer IV Ausf.J Late Sd.Kfz.162/2

The Panzer IV was the mainstay of the German Panzer troops from about the middle of the war. The Ausf.J(Type J) was its final production model of the tank series. To shorten the production time and save resources, reflecting the severe situations of the late war, some components of the tank design were simplified. On the other hand, improvement of survivability was a concern and the armor thickness was increased at several points. The most visible change was the adaptation of an anti-bazooka skirt armor made of steel mesh. Dragon has depicted all these changed features of Ausf.J, perfectly. The armor-strengthened turret, simplified commander's cupola and hatches are molded on Sprue.A. Also the anti-bazooka plates are reproduced in nylon mesh, and plastic support rail parts are also included. Tracks are injection plastic individual track link type. Three sets of decals included. No figure included.
