5cm Panzer IV

¹⁄35

Saturday, October 25, 2014 - 02:27 AM UTC

Coming soon from Dragon Models is a different variant of the Pz.Kpfw.IV mounting a 5cm gun.

Dragon Models has announced a Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.D that uses a PaK38 5cm gun. While the Ausf.D normally mounted the KwK37 L/24, a trail was made to mount a KwK39 L/60 as an attempt to deal with the armour on the Matilda’s that were experienced during the Battle for France. It is unknown how many were built or how many entered service, but it is an interesting variant of the Panzer IV.

6736 – Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.D w/5cm L/60

According to Dragon Models USA this new variant should be available in December 2014.

That is a variant that I was looking for last yr. I was wondering if anyone made one with a PAK 38 ...well, what the heck. I want!

David; One of those long-hinted-at (maybe even promised) grails! Ref the Dragon StuG III ausf E.... I think we are all thinking a "new-tool" E - that CH orange box E is the quite elderly Dragon E kit 9106 re-boxed with some figures and a set of MagicTracks. We are hoping for a new-tool E along the lines of Dragon's new-tool F/8 in a couple of versions, with up-to-date hull and fenders, wheels, details, and maybe the interior at least to the extent D has provided for its F/8 and G StuG III kits. That CH orange E builds up OK (I have one about 90% done...) - it looks pretty much like a III-E - but really wants a lot of AM and upgrades to get nearer to modern StuG III kits (and builds) standards. I replaced all wheels with new items, metal barrel, lots of scratch details, added welds, etc., really should have added metal or even newer-model styrene fenders (but budget and resource limits got in the way of that), and I still need to button it all up as there is no interior stuff to see. Cheers! Bob PS: That IV with the scabbed-on 5cm PaK 38 .... some sort of rear-area shop "horror"! Now THAT would certainly be an interesting "one-off" for CH to kit up! Bet that one could sell pretty well!
