Introducing the RFM 1:35 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.G/H - W/FULL INTERIOR KIT - W/WORKABLE TRACK LINKS - 2IN1 plastic model kit, a detailed replica of a German medium tank from the World War II era. This advanced kit from RFM allows for the construction of one of two vehicle versions: Ausf. G or Ausf. H, enhanced with a precisely replicated full interior and functional workable track links.
The RFM 1:35 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.G/H model kit stands out with its high level of detail and innovative features that will satisfy experienced modelers. The 1/35 scale ensures appropriate precision in replicating all elements, allowing for the creation of a realistic diorama or a standalone display model.
Key Product Features:
1/35 Scale: The standard scale for military modeling, ideal for building static display models.
2-in-1 Version: The ability to build one of two tank variants: Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.G or Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.H.
Full Interior Kit: A detailed replica of the turret and fighting compartment interior, allowing the tank to be displayed with open hatches.
Workable Track Links: The set includes individual track links, allowing for a realistic depiction of their sag and tension after assembly.
Photo-etched Parts: Additional, precise metal parts (PE) providing enhanced detail for certain elements, such as ventilation grilles or guards.
Each RFM 1:35 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.G/H set contains all the necessary components for building the model:
Plastic sprues with model parts to be cut out.
A decal sheet for applying tactical markings and insignia.
Photo-etched parts (PE) for enhanced detail.
Individual track links.
An assembly guide, featuring detailed construction diagrams and suggested painting schemes.
Note: The kit does not include model paints or model glue.
Application and Assembly:
This kit is intended for hobby modelers interested in historical military vehicles, particularly German tanks from the World War II era. Once assembled, the model serves as a static replica of the tank, ideal for display or as a component of a larger diorama.
The assembly process requires cutting the plastic parts from the sprues, fitting them, and gluing them according to the included instruction manual. Photo-etched parts are delicate and require precise tools. After assembly, the model should be painted with model paints and decals applied. It is recommended to paint certain elements before their final attachment.
Recommended tools and materials (sold separately):
Nippers for precise part cutting.
Hobby knife for removing flash and precise cuts.
Model file or sandpaper for smoothing surfaces.
Plastic cement.
Tweezers for manipulating small parts, especially photo-etched ones.
Model brushes or an airbrush for painting.
Model paints (acrylic, enamel, or lacquer).
Compatibility and Painting Recommendations:
The RFM Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.G/H model in 1/35 scale is fully compatible with other military vehicle models, miniatures, and accessories in the same scale, allowing for the creation of complex dioramas. The interior details and workable track links offer extensive possibilities for painting and weathering (aging effects).
For historical accuracy of the Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.G/H tank, it is recommended to use paints that replicate German military colors from the World War II era. Standard camouflage colors include:
Dunkelgelb (Dark Yellow - RAL 7028): The primary base color used from 1943.
Olivgrün (Olive Green - RAL 6003): Used as one of the camouflage colors alongside Dunkelgelb.
Rotbraun (Red Brown - RAL 8017): The second camouflage color applied over Dunkelgelb.
Detailed painting and camouflage placement schemes are always included in the manufacturer's instruction manual.
