Authentic Brass Shells for 1/35 Panzer IV Kits

The Tamiya brass projectiles bring a refined metal option to scale modellers working on 1/35 Panzer IV subjects. These 75mm L48 KwK40 shells are formed to capture correct profile and surface appearance for close-up displays.

Historical Note and Modelling Advantage

The Panzer IV featured across many theatres and is popular among modellers for its operational history. Replacing plastic rounds with brass versions imparts improved definition and a genuine metal aspect that stands up to scrutiny.

Building Insight

Fitted to standard 1/35 Panzer IV kits with simple adjustments, these brass projectiles provide a realistic weight and finish for stowed or in-breech ammunition displays. They respond well to metal primers and weathering techniques.

Will these brass rounds need weathering to look realistic?

A touch of subtle weathering or dulling is useful to blend the brass with painted components; thin washes and light drybrushing work well without obscuring detail.

Is any special tool required to fit the shells?

Common modelling tools suffice: fine files, tweezers and a hobby knife for minor trimming. A slip of masking tape can protect adjacent paint while you fit parts.

Can these be combined with other metal upgrades?

Yes, they complement other brass or metal detail parts and are often used alongside metal barrels or photo-etch sets to raise overall build fidelity.
