Dragon Military 1/35 PzKpfw IV Ausf F2(G) Tank Smart Kit

The Panzer IV G was to be the first tank installed with the 7.5cm KwK40 L/43 gun in 1942. However, the Wehrmacht needed to urgently counteract the thicker armor of the T-34 and KV-1 so this gun was also fitted to some Ausf. F tanks (where it was known as the F2). A total of 175 F2 tanks were produced from March to July 1942.

This kit has all brand new tooling, with only the tracks being shared from previous kits. Accuracy is ensured through research conducted on several preserved Pz. IVs located from around the world. Furthermore, this Panzer IV kit has been engineered in Smart Kit form, with extremely well-detailed parts using slide molds. It is also very easy to assemble.
