Warlord Bolt Action Panzer IV Tank 1:56 WWII Plastic Model Kit, Small

While the propaganda headlines may have focused on the big cats like the Panther and the Tiger, the Panzer IV was the backbone of Germany's armored capability throughout the war. You can choose to build your Panzer IV as one of three different variants: the short-barreled Ausf. F1, the long-barreled Ausf. G with its distinctive ball muzzle brake (respectfully known by British forces in the desert campaign as the 'Mark 4 Special'), and the Ausf H with its new muzzle brake and protective schürzen side skirts. The iconic German tank of the Second World War, the Panzer IV fought from the invasion of Poland to the fall of Berlin. The Panzer IV was constantly updated, with its sound design giving it a longevity well beyond that of its contemporaries. By mid-war, it was packing a deadly long-barreled 75mm gun, giving it great hitting power and better mobility, and its armor had been doubled in places, greatly increasing its survivability. By the time of massive battles in Russia in the middle of the war, the Pz IV was also carrying the detachable screen side armor known as schürzen, in response to the threat posed by Russian anti-tank rifles and, later, by Allied hollow charge bazooka-style weapons. This is the backbone of the Panzer regiments!

As with the other Bolt Action plastic vehicles, this kit is highly detailed yet easy to build. It provides a rugged gaming piece and will also appeal to painters and modelers. The Panzer IV comes with a comprehensive waterslide decal sheet, allowing you to finish your new tank off perfectly! This product is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paints are not included.

Recreate World War II combat on a tabletop using dice, model troops, tanks, and the rules constructed by Bolt Action against one or more opponents. Each opposing side will also require painted model troops, representing the soldiers, guns, and tanks of your chosen armies. Tabletop encounters take place according to twelve closely defined battle scenarios that explain how forces are deployed and how victory is achieved. All that remains is for players to pit their wits against each other as they enact just one small part of one of the greatest conflicts in history—World War II.

The construction and painting of the models and watching them come to life are just as much fun as the game itself! Build, paint, and play!
