Tamiya 1/35 Panzer IV H Finished WWII #21008  [21008]

About the German Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H

The Panzerkampfwagen VI had been Germany's main tank during WW2. It stayed in mass production through the war, along with some 8,000 units produced, it represented more than one-third of Germany's whole wartime tank manufacturing. Once the backbone of German Panzer Divisions, it had been known as their "workhorse". The Pz.Kpfw. IV underwent constant improvement throughout its long job, and Ausf. H, and/or "H" variation, is normally seen as the definitive model, with respect to both performance and produced number. 3,774 devices outnumbered any variation. The Ausf. H is approximately categorized into the very early, mid and late production variations, therefore the early H model had a close relationship with the preceding belated production "G" model. Both versions used identical suspension system and tires. Weapons contained a powerful, longbarreled KwK40 L/48 tank gun plus two 7.92mm MG34 device guns. Slim steel dishes known as "Schurzen" (skirts) had been introduced on Ausf. G, and succeeded the Ausf. H. The Maybach HL120TRM engine also remained equivalent, but an improved SSG-77 transmission was coupled regarding Ausf.H. But the additional weight of some 1.5 tons, because of added armor and increased ammo, lowered its top rate to 38km/h, which proved 2km/h slower than the G. The Ausf.H ended up being produced in higher quantities from April 1943 to July 1944.
