The Tamiya 1/35 Panzer IV/70(A): A Detailed Tribute to WWII Engineering

The Panzer IV/70(A), an evolution of the German Panzerkampfwagen, was developed during the latter stages of World War II as a response to the need for enhanced firepower. Built on the Panzer IV Ausf. J chassis, this tank destroyer featured a formidable L/70 7.5cm long-barrel gun and distinctive Thoma Schurzen wire mesh panels. With approximately 280 units produced, it served on both the Eastern and Western Fronts.
