Trumpeter 1/16 German PzKpfw IV Ausf.H Medium Tank 920

The Panzerkampfwagen IV (Pz. IV) Sd Kfz 161, commonly known as the Panzer IV, was a medium tank developed in Nazi Germany in the late 1930s and used extensively during the Second World War. Its ordnance inventory designation was Sd. Kfz.161. Designed as an infantry-support tank, the Panzer IV was not originally intended to engage enemy armour-that function was performed by the lighter Panzer III. However, with the flaws of pre-war doctrine becoming apparent, and in the face of Soviet T-34 tanks, the Panzer IV soon assumed the tank-fighting role of its increasingly obsolete cousin. « less
