Panzer IV Ausf. B/C/D Platoon (limited)

The Panzerkampfwagen IV medium tank was the only German tank to fight from the beginning to the end of World War II. The mechanically reliable tank was the backbone of the German war machine throughout the war, even though the heavier Panther and Tiger tanks often got all the glory and press.

The Ausf B and C variants saw hull, armour and cupola changes but were not produced in large numbers. The Ausf D version of the Pz.Kfw IV was the first true production model, with over 200 being built between 1939 and 1941.

Remaining in service until 1944, the Ausf. D featured a new front hull plate design to accommodate the hull-mounted machine gun, as well as a new external gun mantlet and up to 25% thicker armour. These early versions of the Panzer IV saw action in the invasions of Poland, France and the Low Countries, as well as on the Eastern Front and in North Africa.

This boxed set contains three plastic medium Panzer IVs, which can be assembled as Ausf. B, C or D.
