Packet contents and intro to Tamiya 35087 1/35 Sturmgeschuetz IV

Built to support infantry on the battlefield, the Sturmgeschuetz IV combined a powerful gun with a low silhouette for close support and anti-armour tasks. Tamiya's 1/35 kit reproduces that balance of function and form, offering a faithful assembly subject for scale enthusiasts.

Historical role and development

The vehicle was developed as an infantry support platform, evolving as tank chassis design improved. Around 1,000 were produced and the type saw significant action, most notably on the Eastern Front where it proved effective in its dual role.

Assembly and detail points

This kit emphasises external detail: the front assault gun, realistic track segments and surface textures including Zimmerit. The parts layout is designed to help experienced builders achieve a clean, display-ready finish.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: military green plastic
  • Includes: one realistic figure
  • Tracks: authentic rubber
  • Decals: waterslide
  • Assembly: requires glue
Use a fine applicator cyanoacrylate or plastic cement for tiny components. Test fit pieces first and work in subassemblies to keep joins neat.
Weathering adds realism, especially on the lower hull and around the gun mantlet. Apply washes, drybrushing and subtle chipping for an authentic look.
The single figure is modelled to complement the vehicle and works well in a display. For additional crew or customised gear, aftermarket figures are compatible if scaled to 1/35.
Yes, the moulded Zimmerit detail reproduces the coating pattern. Light priming and careful shading will make the texture stand out without overpowering surface detail.
