Introduction to the 1/35 Panzerwerfer Type42 Model

The Tamiya 37017 kit presents the German Sd.Kfz.4/1 Panzerwerfer Type42 at 1/35 scale with an emphasis on period accuracy and intricate detail. The kit has updated rocket launcher components and new vehicle-mounted machine gun parts to give a convincing finished model.

Historical Context and Kit Advantages

As a mobile rocket launcher in WWII, the Panzerwerfer Type42 is recreated here using Italeri-sourced vehicle components and, for the first time in this series, assembly-style tracks. The model also benefits from improved tool accessories, more distinct rivet detailing, two crew figures, and two marking options included with the decals.

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Construction type: Assembly kit
  • Photo-etch parts: Not included
  • Decals: Included
  • Special feature 1: Vehicle parts are a product of Italeri.
  • Special feature 2: Includes assembly-style tracks for the first time.
  • Special feature 3: Rocket launcher parts have been updated to showcase far more detail than on the original.
  • Special feature 4: Features new vehicle-mounted machine gun parts.
  • Special feature 5: Vehicle-top tool accessory parts have been improved, and the model has clearer depictions of rivets.
  • Special feature 6: Includes Tamiya parts to depict 2 figures in the process of loading ammunition.
  • Special feature 7: 2 Tamiya marking options are included.

Will the kit fit into a collection with other 1/35 vehicles?

Yes, the 1/35 scale sizing and realistic detailing make it compatible visually with other 1/35 armour models for shelf displays or dioramas.

Are any mechanical parts movable once built?

Most components are fixed when glued, though careful assembly can leave hatches or the rocket frame adjustable if you plan for static or display poses.

How should I approach weathering for authenticity?

Layer light washes and pigments to suggest dust and wear, target panel lines and rivets for contrast, and use chipping sparingly around tool stowage and access points for a believable finish.
