[About the actual vehicle]
--The Sd.Kfz.167 IV assault gun is an assault gun that uses the body of the Panzer IV, which was developed by Krupp in February 1943.
――The already deployed Sturmgeschütz III demonstrated excellent combat power in defensive battles in the latter half of the war, and the increasing demand for assault guns from the front also supported the development.
――In addition, in 1943, the production plant of the III assault gun was damaged by the air raid of the Allied Forces, and production stopped. Formal production of the IV assault gun was to begin as a vehicle to replace the III assault gun.
-The initial type is equipped with the battle room of the III assault gun G type on the body of the IV tank H type.
――The mass production has started after the modifications to clear the gaps and steps due to the difference in the car body and the difference in the cockpit part.
――Production started in December 1943, and about 1100 cars were made until April 1945.
--In addition, at the end of World War II, the German army was wary of magnetically attracted land mines.
――We took measures by applying a special coating to the surface of the car body.
――The coating was formalized in 1943, and some were produced in the state of being applied at the factory.
[About the model]
-The model reproduces the German army's IV assault gun that was active in World War II on a 1/35 scale.
――Not only the low and sharp style, but also the details of each part are fully expressed.
――It is an assembly kit with a finished total length of about 20 cm.
――Two types of body parts are set in this kit.
――One is a normal type, and the other is a part that reproduces the state with Zimmerit coating to prevent magnetically attracted land mines. It is a 2-in-1 kit that can be assembled by choosing either one.
――Since the coating of the No. IV assault gun covered the entire surface of the car body, two types of parts are set, not only the upper and lower parts of the car body, but also the front and rear parts of the car body.
――The coating firmly expresses the details such as the pattern.
――The difference from the car body without coating will enhance the fun of making.
――Each part such as the upper part and lower part of the car body uses a slide mold to accurately reproduce the shape.
--Choose to open / close the commander's hatch, driver's hatch, and engine hatch.
――You can devise various arrangements for the finish.
--In addition, metal parts are set for the side skirt. Realistic thickness enhances the feeling.
-The track adopts a prefabricated magic track with a realistic finish.
――In addition, you can't miss the bonus set of jackets made of DS material.
――It is a kit with full contents.
