── 1/72 scale completed model of the IV J type with a unique dot camouflage pattern
[About the actual car]
- During WWII, the most trusted tank among German soldiers was the Pz.Kpfw.161, Panzer IV.
- Production began in 1936, and since the vehicle was designed with ample room from the start, numerous improvements and strengthening were made to suit the war situation without changing the basic dimensions, and approximately 8,500 vehicles were produced.
- It was used throughout the entire war, from the early stages to the end of the war.
- The final production model was the J-type.
- It is the successor to the previous H-type, but the difference is that rather than being an improvement, it is a simplification type, with simplified equipment, easier production, and reduced fuel consumption.
- The biggest difference was that the auxiliary engine used to generate power for the turret rotation motor was eliminated and replaced with a manual one.
- It was produced from June 1944 to March 1945 and served on all fronts until the end of the war.
[About the model]

- Total length is about 75mm, width is about 40mm.
- The body shape, hatches, rear panel, and other details are all sharply reproduced.

- The engine deck on the upper part of the vehicle is also reproduced in detail.
