Opis produktu:
Although not as glamorous as vehicles such as the Panther and Tiger, the Panzer IV formed an extremely important part of the German armoured forces during World War II. Numerous versions of both the tank, and vehicles based on its chassis, served throughout the entire course of the war and on many different fronts, giving rise to a wide variety of camouflage schemes and finishes. Such varieties of type and deployment provide the 1/72-scale modeller with great diversity and scope in modelling the subject: in addition, the Panzer IV is arguably the best catered for small-scale model in terms of aftermarket accessories, making it an ideal choice for a book on this topic. There has been a noticeable increase in the popularity of modelling in 1/72 scale in recent years: articles have appeared with increasing frequency in many of the modelling magazines, and a wealth of kits and aftermarket accessories (such as photo-etched and resin conversion sets) is now available. Until now, though, no detailed guide to modelling this subject in 1/72 has been released. Even with such a plethora of accessory and detail sets on the market, the opportunities for homemade conversions and scratch-building are extensive, and this makes the case for a step-by-step guide even more compelling. This title covers the main categories of Panzer IV vehicles, and provides detailed build articles on a Panzer IV Ausf. H in winter camouflage, a Jagdpanzer IV, a late-version Sturmpanzer IV, a final version Sturmgeschütz IV, and a Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind. Conversions, interior detailing, kit bashing, adding aftermarket figures and parts, creating different finishes, weathering, plus special scale techniques (such as reproducing zimmerit and simple mould making) are all covered in clearly explained, step-by-step detail. A gallery section also features Panzer IV Ausf. H, Panzer IV L/70 (V), and Panzer IV L/70 (A) models.
