Hobby Boss HB-80131 Panzer IV Ausf B 1/35 Wartime Replica  [HB-80131]

Model History and Build Focus

The Hobby Boss HB-80131 captures the Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf B in 1/35, reflecting its role in early armoured formations. With only 42 produced between April and September 1938, the Ausf B is notable for its short 7.5cm main gun and turret-mounted MG34, both modelled faithfully in this kit.

Attention to construction details is evident in the accurate single straight superstructure front plate and the outer mantlet bolted over the turret face. The kit also reproduces the cooling air intake and exhaust vents that protect the engine area, useful for modellers building a realistic, period-correct miniature.
