The 25-ton class Panzer IV, developed as a support tank, was equipped with a large-caliber 7.5cm KwK 24 L/24 gun, which was notable in 1938. During World War II, it saw armor enhancements and upgrades to a more powerful long-barreled 7.5cm gun, establishing the glory of the German armored forces. This guide focuses on new kits ranging from the early Ausf. A to the long-barreled Ausf. G models. Additionally, it introduces the formidable Brummbär assault tank with 100mm armor and a large-caliber 15cm howitzer. The guide covers kit overviews, construction tips, painting, and weathering techniques. It also includes an article on the definitive identification method for Panzer IV variants (A-G), a valuable photo collection of the Vorpanzer (Ausf. D and E), and a detailed comparison of parts for each Ausf. A-G kit.
