Prefab model 1/35 German Jagdpanzer IV/70(A) Tamiya 35381 Total length = 242 mm. In the photo, the kit is assembled and painted. -At the end of World War II, due to the increase in powerful Allied tanks, the German Army introduced the Panzer IV/70(A)* as an improved firepower of the already obsolete Panzer IV. In order to shorten the development period, the chassis was deviated from the Panzer IV J type, and the main gun was equipped with a long-barreled 70 caliber 7.5 cm gun, which had better characteristics than almost all Allied tanks of the time. To provide space to fit this new gun, a fixed fighting compartment was adopted instead of the conventional turret, which was converted from Panzer IV/70(V) Lang's. More than 270 tanks were produced between August 1944 and March 1945, and the Panzer IV/70(A), which was deployed on both the Eastern and Western Fronts, took advantage of its long range and high armor penetration to destroy Allied tanks. Fight against your opponent. Despite the overwhelming offensive, they fought hard until the end of the war.

For a more reliable assembly, the complex shape of the Toma Shield mount and the Toma Shield body, which is divided into three parts on one side, have also been developed. Stainless steel photo-etched parts for a realistic and reliable assembly are installed in the wire mesh part of the Thoma screen.

The last type of crawler track, called the "light type", is a joint type that promotes the integration of parts.
