Hobby Boss HB-80130 1/35 Panzer IV Ausf C Military Model Kit  [HB-80130]

Faithful 1/35 Panzer IV Ausf C Reproduction

The Hobby Boss HB-80130 produces a faithful 1/35 representation of the German Panzer IV Ausf C, capturing the distinct early-war markings and lines. The limited wartime production of this variant makes it an appealing subject for historical modelling projects.

Design Background and Notable Details

The Panzerkampfwagen IV was a medium support tank developed by Krupp-Grusion and formed a major part of German armoured forces, with total production exceeding 12,000 across types. The Ausf C is noted for its shorter 7.5 cm gun and an MG34 turret fit, plus the flat-front superstructure aligning the driver and radio operator visors.

What Comes in the Box

Inside are 49 plastic sprues along with a lower hull and a turret, creating a rewarding build. The set also includes metal items such as a copper cable and a single photo-etched component for enhanced detail. Released in July 2015, this kit appeals to modellers wanting historical fidelity.
