The Story
Recreate the German Jagdpanzer IV /70(V) Lang with a Tamiya 1/35 scale model kit.
Equipped with a long, powerful L/70 7.5cm anti-tank gun that could outrange opposing Allied tank weapons, the Jagdpanzer IV /70(V) Lang proved a formidable foe following its introduction late in WWII. The "Lang" (German for "long") in its name was added to distinguish it from its predecessor with a shorter L/48 7.5cm gun; the design featuring a wedge-shaped glacis plate and utilizing the Panzer IV chassis was largely shared by the L/48 and L/70 varieties.
930 Jadgpanzer IV /70(V) Langs were produced between August 1944 and March 1945, and fought in last-gasp actions such as along the Ardennes front from December 1944, their exceptional range and power troubling Allied forces until the last.
Features:
- The model captures the low, menacing silhouette.
- Features a 1-piece gun barrel section.
- Realistic surface textures such as the cast-iron "Saukopf" mantlet, and hull weld lines.
- Two front steel-rimmed wheels on either side are accurately depicted.
- Model depicts lightweight final production tracks in belt form.
- Comes with commander and loader torso figures in realistic pose.
- Three marking options include both Western and Eastern front units.
