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

The Academy Panzer IV Ausf.H 'Ver Mid' in 1/35 scale recreates the mid-run characteristics of this staple German tank. The kit is tailored for modellers who want to assemble a historically recognisable medium tank with clear detail.

Design Evolution and Battlefield Role

The Ausf.H introduced upgrades to armour and armament that extended the Panzer IV series utility on the battlefield. Its tweaks made it more resilient in frontline roles and adaptable to changing combat demands.

Kit Details and Assembly Advice

The moulding captures turret fittings, hull plates and running gear with crisp lines. Builders should plan for careful trimming, alignment of suspension elements and patient painting to maximise the model's realism.

Display Tips and Collector Notes

Completed builds look effective solo or grouped in a period display. Simple weathering and basework quickly add operational context and lift the model from shelf to exhibit quality.

Specifications

It is better suited to modellers with some experience; newcomers may find the finer parts and suspension alignment challenging without prior builds.
Aftermarket details such as metal barrels, etched brass sets and stowage items are available for those seeking higher fidelity or enhanced durability.
A sharp hobby knife, fine needle files, plastic cement, tweezers and small clamps will help achieve clean joins and precise part placement.
