Academy 13516 - 1/35 German Panzer IV Ausf.H 'Ver Mid' Replica Kit

This Academy 1/35 model recreates the Panzer IV Ausf.H mid production type with a focus on accurate external shapes and period detail. It is a good match for modellers building fleets or historical single models.

Context and Why the Ausf.H Matters

The Ausf.H was a practical upgrade over earlier variants, adding protective and tactical improvements that prolonged the vehicle's frontline use. The model reflects those incremental changes that defined mid-war German armour.

Construction Notes for Model Builders

Expect well-defined parts that represent the hull, turret and running gear. The kit benefits from methodical construction, including dry runs, careful glue application and precise painting to bring out panel lines and fittings.

How to Present Finished Models

Assembled and painted, the Ausf.H 'Ver Mid' works well on a display plinth or within a diorama. Adding subtle weathering and context elements helps convey scale and operational history for viewers.

Yes, the kit instructions include painting and marking guides to help recreate common schemes used by the Ausf.H during the period.
Aftermarket tracks, metal barrels and detail sets can be fitted for improved realism, though some modifications may be needed for precise fit.
Layered base coats, panel shading, light chipping and washes work well to recreate wear and surface texture typical of operational tanks.
