Scale Modellers Pick: Tamiya 35340 1/35 Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (V) Military Model  [35340]

Examining the Tamiya 1/35 Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (V) Kit

The Tamiya 1/35 Jagdpanzer IV L/70 (V) model captures the profile and function of a late-war German tank hunter. Its defining feature is the long 70-calibre 7.5cm anti-tank gun, which extended engagement range compared with earlier fittings.

Origins and Battlefield Use

Derived from the Panzer IV chassis, early Jagdpanzer IVs ran 48-calibre guns until upgrades introduced the 70-calibre variant. Manufactured by Vomag for some production runs, these vehicles were commonly deployed in defensive roles and ambushes, including notable late-war engagements.

What Builders Will Appreciate

The kit demands careful assembly to realise its fine surface textures and incorporates a single-piece moulded main barrel for accuracy. Multiple decal choices let you model different formations, and the included torso figures aid vignette builds.
