Description
This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.
The Panzer IV was one of the main German tanks of World War II. Many variations of the Panzer IV were developed; one of them was the Jagdpanzer IV. A low fixed battle room with a total height of less than two meters was installed on the body of the Panzer IV, and a 48-caliber 7.5cm gun was installed; production began in 1944. After that, an improved version equipped with a long-barreled 70-caliber 7.5cm gun appeared, and it was named JagdPz IV/70 -- Jagdpanzer IV Destroyer 70. It was produced from August 1944 to March 1945. Hiding in the shadows by taking advantage of its low silhouette and shooting at Allied tanks from a long distance by taking advantage of the power of its long-barreled 70-caliber cannon, the Jagdpanzer IV continued to fight hard on various fronts until the end of the war.
This model kit from Dragon accurately expresses the low, sharp body form of the JagdPz IV/70 equipped with a long-barreled 70-caliber 7.5cm gun. The lower part of the hull is an integrated part that's slide-molded for a high level of detail. The upper hull, battle room, engine deck and more are all slide-molded in one piece for a realistic finish. Prefabricated Magic Tracks are included; the Schulzen is also modeled accurately.

Assembly Guide
Skill Level 3:
Basic Skills Required
Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.
To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.
Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.
Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.
Cement Required
This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.
A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT
Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.
Painting Required
This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.
While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
