Scale Accurate Panzer IV Ausf C in 1/35

The Hobby Boss HB-80130 offers a scale-accurate 1/35 model of the German Panzer IV Ausf C, capturing the silhouette and fittings of this early production type. Its limited production numbers make it an attractive subject for historical modelling.

Origins and Noteworthy Features

Built by Krupp-Grusion, the Panzerkampfwagen IV served as a medium support tank and appeared in many variants, with overall production topping 12,000. The Ausf C is notable for the short 7.5 cm main gun complemented by an MG34 in the turret and the flat front plate arranging the driver and radio operator visors on one plane.

Box Contents and Detailing

The kit contains 49 sprues alongside a lower hull and turret, providing a detailed assembly challenge. Metal details such as a copper cable and a single photo-etched part are included to add realism. Released in July 2015, this model is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a faithful historical replica.
