1/72 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf. F1 (F)

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

As WWII started, the never-ending race for improved firepower and armor protection also began. The German Panzer IV started life as a fire support vehicle for the Panzer III gun tank, but the demands of the battlefield forced it to adopt the role of a gun tank, and to alter the design of the tank itself with a longer-barreled gun. Pz. IV Ausf. F1(F) is a good example of the results of this transition. The F1(F) was fitted with the short-barreled 75mm Kw.K L/24 gun.

Here’s another gem of a kit from Dragon! Excellent detail and great options come together to give the modeler another kit that packs a lot of bang for the buck (or the monetary unit of your choice). Sharply molded in gray styrene, the kit an engine deck with hatches and tools molded as separate parts. Each double road wheel is miraculously molded as a single part, with the outer wheel hub another part, making the painting of the rubber tires a breeze. Includes a one-piece slide-molded barrel for the main gun and a small fret of photo-etched parts for other details. The belt-type tracks are molded in Dragon’s flexible and cementable Dragon Styrene. Includes markings by Cartograf for seven different vehicles.
